Secrecy surrounded Barbara's birth. A bright country girl, she gained a full scholarship as a medical student. One evening, five male coeds violated her and left her pregnant. The university told her not to reveal the incident, as the boy's families contributed large endowments. She promised herself that one day, she would seek revenge.
Joe, a young medical student, learned about the incident and offered to help her. They fell in love, and Barbara had a boy. Tragically, Joe and their newborn child are killed in a car accident. She graduated as a psychologist and advanced to become a department head. She reluctantly married again, but the relationship quickly soured. After a quick divorce, Barbara meets Henry, a cardiologist who abandoned a successful career after the death of his wife and now drives a cab. An evening at his place, her heart is taken by Henry's two little girls, and her feelings for him quickly turn into deep love.
Barbara's life seems complete. She has Henry, his girls, and twin boys of her own, but she has never forgotten the injustice she suffered at the hand of five boys so many years ago. Will she forgive them and gain a measure of inner peace, or seek revenge?
A story of Passion, Faith, Violation, and Haunting Memories.
