To the casual observer, Ann Foster leads an idyllic life on a beautiful estate in southeastern Wisconsin. There, Ann and her husband, Brad, have known great happiness, as they've seen their two children, Andy and Jenny, grow. Jenny and her father are inseparable, and now her son is off to college. Life should be perfect ... but Ann starts experiencing strange premonitions of danger. Concerned, her husband suggests that she seek medical attention, but the doctor assures them that everything is fine.

Ann lands a job at an advertising agency, and Mark Manchester is her boss. But when Ann survives a brutal home invasion and other frightening events, it looks like her premonitions were actually predictions of danger. Mark reaches out to his employee, and Ann finds his compassion and support to be a great comfort in scary times. When she sees him talking to two men she feels are stalking her, however, she starts to worry that maybe Mark isn't what he seems. Complicating matters more, while on a business luncheon with her boss, she is surprised to see her husband out with his client, Suzette Monnet.

These events only fuel her paranoia and suspicion, and Ann fears that she can't trust anyone. Just when she thinks things can't get any worse-they do. Alone at home one night, she's attacked, and in her last moment of consciousness, looks up to see Jenny's rifle aiming down from above.

At that moment, Ann knows that their lives will never be the same.

Universities are normally conservative institutions. In this book they are not. The professors depicted in this imaginary institution exceed conventional norms. They go all out in their seeming quest for propagation. They exemplify the shadow side of our culture. Their braininess is fully compensated by their horniness. The male and female professors in this book engage enthusiastically in all kinds of normal, abnormal, experimental, experiential and orgiastic sexual activities. Dionysus, the Greek God of fruitfulness, would fully approve. Young and older readers will find inspiring images and detailed descriptions of specific acts of love-making that will help them overcome the normal boundaries of morality and allow their secret wishes to come to the forefront. The protagonists depicted here overcome the restrictions of conventional morality - shame, marriage and personal love. The pair gets enlarged to a trio, the trio to a quartet, the quartet to an octet. The bodies merge into a single body; the boundaries between heterosexuality and homosexuality get exceeded. Anything goes.

Over the span of three and a half decades, the members of the Compton and Fischer families have seen the world change, both in and out of their homes. Linked initially by the love affair of two of the sons, Jonathan and Tom, the families' relationships evolve into an intriguing web. The novel traces the connections between the two families over three and a half decades. Like many families, not everything is as it seems on the surface. Relationships among the family members brought together by the young men's love are tested over differing perspectives on bigger issues, such as the place of religion in people's lives and in the world, injustice in global affairs, the joy and pain of love, threats to the environment, the role of the arts, and, ultimately, that most human of experiences, the death of loved ones. Witty, comical, poignant, and shocking by turns, the story traverses the globe from Toronto to Venice, from New York to Nairobi, and from Geneva to Marrakech. In the end, the journeys of these people, as individuals and as a family, go beyond the simply geographic.
