When Annie Delancey was 18 years old, she gave a baby up for adoption. That was 35 years ago, but Annie tells us she still thinks about him now and then, wondering where he is now and what he’s doing. It’s something we can only take her word for, because almost the minute we get to know Annie, something happens. She receives a letter from her now grown up son, asking to meet her, and the pleasant world she has now built for herself, her second attempt at a family life, starts to crumble.
