Meanwhile, touring the Abbey of Monte Cassino, Mark serendipitously meets the son of his college sweetheart who had broken off their courtship because of irreconcilable religious beliefs. The chance meeting causes Mark to confront conflicting desires: Forget about this meeting or contact Joan, who still lives in his hometown of St. Louis, and settle the unresolved issue of their traumatic break-up.

A tangled web of deceit, family crises, and a brutal attack buy Averil's former husband threaten the bond of Mark's and Averil's love in this tale of a modern marriage.
