'Heidi knows there is something wrong with her son, but she is young and inexperienced and doesn't know where to get help. Caro, her doctor and sister-in-law, has moved to the town looking for a way to redeem herself after the death of her husband. Heidi and Caro are separated by age, but share a restless yearning. Too often, their decisions have been made by circumstance not choice. Together they discover that the place they love is making their children sick.' (Publisher's blurb)
