"Forced by a personal scandal to withdraw from her post at a Philadelphia school, Imogene Grelznick, a gifted teacher and strong-willed woman, rebuilds her life and career in a western Pennsylvania farming community. Imogene becomes a mentor to fifteen-year-old Sarah, an inquisitive student bursting with promise. As time passes, teacher and student are bound by a strong kinship. When Imogene attempts to save her former student from an abusive and loveless marriage, her own past resurfaces, ripping apart the sanctuary she and Sarah have sought to create. Fleeing their hopeless existence, Imogene and the weakened Sarah travel across country to Nevada, and as the teacher tenderly nurses the fragile girl back to health, the two women form a bond of trust and devotion, of respect and love--one that society deems forbidden."--Cover
