When their rejection of her culminates in a horrifying experience, Martha withdraws completely and spends the rest of her life paying the price of that trauma in ways neither she nor the people in her small Vermont town can comprehend. As a young woman Martha remains innocent of the complexities and compromises of adult life. And though she is subject to the cravings of any normal woman-for love, independence, and companionship-Martha's relentless honesty makes her painfully vulnerable to the thoughtless and deceitful ways of the people in her world: Frances, her wealthy aunt and begrudging guardian; Birdy, who takes her under her wing and then cruelly expels her; and the manic and seductive Colin Mackey, who preys on Martha's desires. Confused, hurt, and bitter, distrusting even those with her best interests at heart, Martha is propelled into a chaotic series of excruciating realizations and, ultimately, a desperate and dangerous attempt to gain control over her life.
