Book Description
Madeline Marshall studies engineering at Berkeley during the Nixonian time of civil disturbance and political distrust, but fearing the consequences of a youthful misstep, she's forced to settle on a very different life from the one she began. She flees federal prosecution, first to Oregon, then farther north, in search of safety and anonymity along the way finding a loving, if unconventional, husband in the small logging town of Blessing, Idaho. Over time she grows to appreciate the simple activities that have come to define her daily existence, but when she learns she's misinterpreted the severity and nature of her criminal offense, she must decide if trading good friendships for a return to her former prosperity and status would be an even bigger mistake than the one she has paid for with thirty years of lies, apprehension and unrelenting vigilance.
