It is the end of an era for Julia Brandenburg, or the beginning of one. She's not quite sure as she reviews her twenty-five year marriage to her husband, Skip.Until this day, Julia has understood her role as an executive's wife, understood Skip's need for her to be his one and only, understood the sacrifice of not having children that would interfere with his career, and understood that a good wife "goes where thou goest." But moving from California to Atlanta, Georgia, is not something she is equipped to do, nor is she prepared for the heady and pretentious world into which she has been thrust. It is a world that quickly consumes Skip and leaves her alone to fill her days and weeks without him---and without him, who is she? It is Skip's black sheep sister, Virginia, that arrives with the answer; a one month baby boy and an inability to care for him. A deal is struck but is it a deal as transient as the sandcastles Julia made as a child; sandcastles that washed away with the high tide, beautiful yet fleeting? Or is it her destiny long awaited, the child she was meant to have?
