When Maddy Gold returns to New York in 1969 after a two-year stint in the Peace Corps in Kenya, she must adjust to a rapidly changing culture. Overwhelmed, she connects with friends on Fire Island for a revolutionary summer of free love, drugs and sex, as the Vietnam War continues to escalate. Seeking independence, she relocates to a singles paradise in California. Ten years later, she revisits New York, only to confront her dysfunctional family's expectations of marriage and children. A suspenseful bi-coastal journey of a young woman haunted by family secrets, and driven by her desire to have a baby before it's too late, the novel raises high stakes questions. In pursuit of her dream, Maddy makes a promise. But when her lover and therapist challenge her to open the window of the past, Maddy must make a choice.
