Sue Miller explores the life of a woman with secrets, some deep and dark, others just hidden, and the effect those secrets have on her life. The main character is a woman prone to running away in search of her life, or sometimes in search of a different life. What she finds is that life and some harsh truths sometimes have a way of catching up with you and there is a price for coming clean about a past you'd rather forget, but can't. In the end, there is no magical revelation that suddenly makes everything right. Instead, the woman, Jo, learns some valuable lessons about life and love and truth and justice that can only be taught by experience. Luckily, Miller's writing and story helps us learn them too.
