Her husband, Patrick, is her whole world-even when he departs for a tour of duty in Vietnam. But when Patrick is listed as MIA, Kate is suddenly forced to make decisions alone for the first time in her life. It's an uphill struggle. Five years, ten years, fifteen years pass ... and Kate continues to transform herself. She raises her two daughters, puts herself through school, and starts a successful business.
