From the back cover

At sixty-eight, a woman learns from her late husband's final confession that he wished to be buried beside Pearl Bennett, not her, and that their fifty-year marriage was, to him, only a promise kept. When she closes her eyes in the cemetery, she wakes in a high school auditorium, young again, with Pearl and Brooks beside her and the whole future laid out before her.

Once, she carried their bags, gave up the telescope, and bore Pearl's burdens for half a century. Now she refuses the shoes, the sacrifice, and the long walk down the mountain, and Brooks grows bewildered and cold as she stops being the girl who never says no.

When he moves her name off the science fair project to give Pearl the credit, she must decide how much of the life she already lived she is willing to refuse.
