When protagonist Victoria discovers a disturbing entry in her deceased father's journal, she relives a painful episode dating back a quarter-century, from which she had healed. At 33, Victoria lived a sheltered existence with her parents. Although she adored them, especially her father--she worshipped the water he walked on--she hoped to marry Lucien, whose working-class status did not measure up to her parents' standards. Consequently, her father separated the lovers via a secret plot that threatened to smear Lucien's image in Victoria's eyes. Caught between the two men she loved, she wondered: Should she follow her conscience by obeying her father? Or should she follow her heart without knowing if Lucien was the morally upstanding man he appeared to be?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert B.
