From the back cover

In the fifth year of her marriage to Harrison, Nora sits with her wealthy in-laws, Arthur and Eleanor, in their lakefront home and tells them she wants a divorce. They urge endurance, certain their son is a paragon of virtue. So Nora proposes a game: she will call Harrison and ask him to wire her fifteen hundred dollars. If he sends it, she stays and never speaks of divorce again. On one condition — whatever they hear, they must not make a sound.

On speakerphone, Harrison's warmth curdles into contempt. Another voice slips through the line: Mackenzie, the young college student he took under his wing, mocking Nora and claiming he promised to marry her. Eleanor's glass shatters; Arthur's face darkens. Harrison calls Nora useless, taunts her for giving him no child, and dismisses the night they met as dead history.

Nora recalls the sub-zero December when she fixed his car and became his Snow Angel Mechanic, the daisies, the vow that his family would be hers. Now she tells his parents how the blame for a childless marriage fell on her, and how their son stopped coming home at all.
