From the back cover

Six months pregnant, Jolin Lester goes alone to the hospital for her prenatal checkup and finds her husband, Quentin Smith, there with his childhood friend Kelly Wallace, who has recently returned to the country after breaking off her engagement. Watching them together, Jolin realizes Kelly's unborn child is his, and that her own pregnancy has been little more than a smokescreen.

When Jolin confronts Quentin, he insists he is only supporting Kelly as a friend and threatens divorce if she objects. Cornering Jolin alone, Kelly taunts her and snatches her medical report, revealing a stage four cancer diagnosis, then stages a fall so that Quentin pushes Jolin down and demands an apology.

Jolin calls her father, asking to come home, and books a flight to Switzerland. With divorce papers already in motion, she resolves to raise her baby alone and leave the city behind.
