It is 1970 and Kate Starr is the perfect wife, the perfect mother, and the perfect housekeeper. But soon after her husband Patrick departs for a tour of duty in Vietnam, he is listed as MIA. Suddenly, Kate must raise their two daughters by herself, learn how to earn a living, and struggle with the U.S. Government to get news of her husband.
It is ultimately the government's callousness that turns Kate into an activist, determined to be heard. It is the beginning of the new Kate Starr. Twenty years later, she has educated herself and her daughters, started a sucessful business...and finally found love again...The fulfilling love of a passionate woman.
