When Ruth Sterling was a teenager, she slipped away one night, desperate to escape an abusive home and a troubling boyfriend. Pregnant, terrified, and prepared to do anything to survive, she eventually makes a life for herself and her daughter, Catherine. But Ruth is always ready to run on a moment's notice. She keeps in touch with no one from her past and never lets anyone get too close to them. Now, Catherine is graduating from nursing school and planning a life of her own in a new city.
