Until now, Kathryn Lyons's life has been peaceful if
unextraordinary: a satisfying job teaching high school in the New
England mill town of her childhood; a picture-perfect home by the
ocean; a precocious, independent-minded fifteen-year-old daughter;
and a happy marriage whose occasional dull passages she attributes
to the unavoidable deadening of time. As a pilot's wife, Kathryn
has learned to expect both intense exhilaration and long periods
alone - but nothing has prepared her for the late-night knock that
lets her know her husband has died in a crash. As Kathryn struggles
with her grief, she descends into a maelstrom of publicity stirred
up by the modern hunger for the details of tragedy. Even before the
plane is located in waters off the Irish coast, the relentless
scrutiny of her husband's life begins to bring a bizarre personal
mystery into focus. Could there be any truth to the increasingly
disturbing rumors that he had a secret life?
