On a horrifying night in 1911, eight-year-old Rachel Warner is orphaned when her parents are brutally murdered in their home. She and her younger brother, Laurie, are brought to live with Norris Thornton, her father's oldest friend and owner of the largest newspaper in the Midwest. In the wake of this tragedy, Rachel finds herself under the close protection of the powerful Norris and his step-son, Peter, while despised and emotionally abused by Norris' wife, Helen. Maturing from a traumatized girl into a young woman desperate for love and intimacy, she discovers that all is not as it seems at the Thornton estate. A web of lies spins around Rachel and those she loves, threatening everything she ever thought to be true. Spanning over three decades, through three marriages and a devastating war, Rachel works to rise above the scandal and heartbreak caused by years of deception. With a steely resolve to not be defeated, she survives through infidelities, incest, and murder to prove she is worthy of the respect and love she craves.
