Years ago, Terry walked out on her marriage to Karl, believing her absence would be temporary, just until Karl changed his ways. But he hasn't. Despite everything, Terry still waits for things to return to the way they were-because she still loves Karl. And she hates herself for that. She has continued her work as a visiting nurse, finding purpose in caring for her patients, but it's never been enough to fill the emptiness in her life. Her friends always thought Terry's marriage to Karl was picture perfect-at least from the outside. Yet no one in her community truly knew what it was like to live with her demanding husband, not even her two now fully grown children. They knew even less about the final demands that drove her to leave him. Now, there is someone new in Terry's life. Will she finally let go of Karl and choose a new beginning? That is the question that haunts her-along with the destruction of the trees on her woodland property, which are being ravaged by gypsy moths. The constant noise is almost enough to bring her to tears, though she hasn't cried-not since she left Karl for good after what happened on his sixty-second birthday.
