A senior partner at a prestigious New York law firm, Kate Mcrgar couldn't be prouder of her three grown children. All three went to great schools, chose wonderful career paths, and would have made their father proud. A single mother for years after the death of her husband, Kate keeps a tight rein on her family, her career, and even her own emotions, never once asking herself if she truly knows her children, or if her hopes for them are the right ones, and what they want. She is about to find out.
