These questions lie at the heart of Ann Packer's intimate and emotionally thrilling new novel....At the age of twenty-three, Carrie Bell has spent her entire life in Wisconsin, with the same best friend and the same dependable, easygoing high school sweetheart. Now to her dismay she has begun to find this life suffocating and is considering leaving it - and her fiancé, Mike - behind.
