Publisher's Synopsis
When a brilliant young student makes a breakthrough botanical discovery in the late 1960s, it seems her life is set on its course, but a socially unacceptable romance and a resultant pregnancy throw everything into turmoil and ultimately leads her to disaster. Her brother, in an effort to protect his own inheritance, steps in to ensure the truth is never uncovered. Now, fifteen years later, a beautiful young girl on the cusp of womanhood, leaves her abusive father behind and strikes out into the world. Her path brings her into contact with an equally bruised young photographer and together they begin to make their mark. With her stunning looks and his artistic skill she is soon catapulted into the glamour of celebrity. Yet all this time, someone has been searching for her.
