From the Back Cover:

The doctor's office is cool, white, sterile. But the doctor's words are searing: blood tests prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Margaret and Arthur Crawfield's beloved, dying son is not their child. Now they must face Peter's death and the shock of having a son they have never met. Grieving, yet compelled, they begin a search that will tear two families apart.

Laura and "Bud" Rice share an elegant home and two children, brilliant, handsome Tom, and cherished, chronically ill Timmy. But after nineteen years of marriage, Laura's respectable husband is a stranger -- and the reason for Tom's escalating interest in a group of campus bigots. Suddenly the Crawfields enter their lives and shatter their fragile world. As the Rices' quiet southern town explodes with hatred and violence, the two families must embrace -- or be destroyed by the shattering truth.
