Nannette Monson Kern

In her late twenties with no romantic prospects Kate wonders if love and marriage have passed her by. Raised in a discordant home she struggles with emotional issues, her ego remaining reasonably intact only through a tender relationship with her father. Scarred by her parents' loveless marriage she is extremely wary of commitment, and more than a little particular about the men she dates. With fond memories of a childhood comrade she can't help wondering about the adult Freddie: who he has become, where he is, and if the man exists who possesses his caliber of character. Then she meets Frank and is soon convinced she has found her soul-mate. Frank, however, refuses to reveal any elements of his past, and Kate, fearing he may be hiding something sinister, sets out to discover the reason for his mysterious reticence.
