(Blurb from rear cover) Andy watches as college roommate Toni falls in love, conceives, marries, starts a family. She watches another love develop, that of her widowed father. She sees a failed parent resort to suicide imploring his family still to love him. When a handsome poet courts her, she attends closely to her feelings, but rather than love for a man she finds love for a child, Toni's toddler Benjie. One afternoon tragedy strikes: Benjie wanders from home and is never again seen. Fascination with child development turns Andy from her intended teaching toward the study of medicine. After her mothers death, she and her father have found solace in the secluded setting of their inherited small lake and surrounding Adirondack mountain property. Andy decides, with her fathers blessing, to devote this beautiful, healing place to establishing a children's hospital. Signed by Author(s).
