Nan and Colin, children of immigrants growing up in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, meet at a New Year’s Eve party in the 1950s and fall hard for each other. Colin, a rising young, handsome police officer haunted by family demons, and Nan, a stunning, spirited but weighed down by expectation, begin a life full of life hope and passion.

When hardship strikes, they befriend Father Tom Cullen, a young priest torn between faith and desire as his parish neighborhood faces racial unrest. Heartfelt and compelling, this novel explores love and resilience, and how faith can shape the paths we chose.
