Eve should never have married Don Hathaway... The man is a bully - who hurts his wife. But, after one drunken rage too many, Eve finds the courage to leave him. It's a difficult - even treacherous - path, yet she has promised herself she will give her children hope for the future. Don, however, is bitter. And getting entirely away from him proves impossible. Until the day Eve decides to teach Don a lesson - and it all goes horribly, hideously wrong. And this desperate mother fears she's lost everything. Eve loves her children so much, but now she bears a terrible burden that she cannot ever share. Somehow, she must carry on as if a noose of guilt doesn't hang about her neck. But Eve fears she has betrayed her and her children's futures. Has she?
