Set against a backdrop of the Kennedy/Nixon fight for the presidency and the Cold War, this is a mesmerizing tale of love and divided loyalties. Mary van der Linden is happy in her marriage, has children she adores and parents who adore her. It seems nothing can disturb the equilibrium of her charmed life, until that is she accompanies her diplomat husband to a posting in Washington where journalist Frank Renzo appears on the scene.
