Abstract:
Camille’s teen-age pregnancy becomes a traumatic event whose effects follow her for decades. It adds bitterness to her relationship with her father and casts a cloud over her relationship with the soldier she loves dearly. At the final news of his tragedy in battle, she gets depressed and has a near-fatal accident which, she believes, was thwarted by her deceased mother. This brings her hope. Alone, and through drastically changing times, she succeeds at building a fulfilling life. Then Alzheimer’s strikes and she is left with nothing but fleeting memories of her past--until her most precious gift comes to her.
