Publisher's Synopsis

Phyllis, a widow in her sixties, goes to a Great Lakes resort for a change of scenery, and there she meets another lonely soul- Owen, a gruff but kindly handyman. Their tentative romance is interrupted when Owen is asked to repair a cottage for an elderly neighbour, Carl, who is recovering from open-heart surgery. When Phyllis is enlisted to help care for Carl, she discovers, to her horror, that this helpless old man is the person who raped her sixty years before. Faced with the abuser she never thought she would see again, Phyllis must decide how, or if, she will call him to account for what he has done. But will revenge heal the past? Or will it violate the life she has built, and the person she has become, since the trauma took place? When a blizzard thunders in off the lake, Owen must fight through the snow to get the medication that Carl desperately needs, leaving Phyllis alone with her rapist. She must come to terms with the demons of her past, once and for all....
