On a midsummer's night Paula lies awake; Mike, her husband of 25 years asleep beside her; her two teenage children, Nick and Kate, sleeping in nearby rooms. The next day, she knows, will redefine all their lives. Recalling the years before and after her children were born, she begins a story which is both a glowing celebration of love possessed and a moving acknowledgment of the fear of loss, of the fragilities, illusions and secrets on which even our most intimate sense of who we are can rest.
It is 1995. A revelation lies in store. Her children's future lies before them. The house holds a family's history and fate. As a millennium draws to its close, and as day draws nearer, Paula's intensely personal thoughts touch on all our tomorrows.
