Claire Raphael has a life many women would envy. Married for fifteen years, she has two young children, a lovely home and a fulfilling career. When Claire comes home from a business trip, everything changes. Instead of the cries of delight from the children that normally greet her, there's just her husband, Dennis. He's filed for divorce; he wants the house, alimony - sole custody. His grounds? She's neglected the children, putting business before family. Oh, and she's been having an affair with his best friend, Brody.
Claire's facing the toughest battle of her life. She's to learn that, to many, a working mother is an unfit mother. That a husband can use everything he knows about his wife against her. That a friend can become much more than a friend when the world falls apart. But there's one thing Claire doesn't have to learn - that her children matter more to her than anything. And that she'll stop at nothing to get them back . . .
