When two people fall in love, get married, have children and build a life together - is it not natural to believe that that bond should last forever till death us do part? Do the people who take this vow really understand what it means - to have and to hold from this day forward in sickness and in health? How much are they prepared to invest in a marriage - an institution created by God himself? How much can the human spirit endure in the face of great adversity and how far is one capable of suffering humiliation before it becomes impossible not to break under the weight of it all? The Johnston family is an example of a well-to-do family in the contemporary world we live in. How will the members of this family deal with the great adversity they will face? Will they stay true to the creed of honor and love which ruled in this family, or..? The story is vividly told in a sensitive, realistic way which will make the reader become one with the characters and experience the trials and tribulations Lillian Johnston has to endure on her path of self discovery.
