adored only child, she swims in the Italianate pool of their ancestral
home and delights in the closeness she shares with her horse-riding

is shattered when her mom is diagnosed with severe clinical depression.
The illness takes up residence in their home like a dark monster lurking
in every corner. Kitty finds solace and escape in the arms and bed of
her friend Angus. Soon they are married, with a baby on the way. But
what happens when Angus turns cold and unfeeling? Kitty needs a knight
in shining armor. Can her old flame, Theo Montgomery, help her to
discover her perfect life? Or is it too late for them both?
