About the Book

Millions adored Daphne Fields, for she shared their passion, their pain, their joy, and their sorrow. But America’s most popular novelist remained a closed book to the world – guarding her life with a fierce privacy no reporter could crack.

Her life hides a myriad of secrets. The husband and daughter she lost in a fire. The son who barely survived it and would be deaf forever. The victories, the defeats, the challenges of facing life as a woman alone and helping her son meet the challenges of his handicap. A strong woman, she would not accept defeat, or help from anyone… until she found she could no longer face it alone.
