Linda Leigh Sinclair is born in the aftermath of WW II. Lovingly raised at Ivy Manor with everything she could possibly need, she is still discontent and finds herself gravitating toward the fringe elements of society. At 17, the modern civil rights movement comes crashing into Leigh's life. Choosing a journalist's life over her parents' wishes, she immerses herself in the rights movement and anti-war protests over Vietnam. She is caught up in the winds of change, falls in love with a young radical, and is devastated when he leaves her. She's made some bad choices -- and she's pregnant. Leigh must learn to juggle single motherhood with work -- and more importantly, learn that with God's help she can finally grow into the strong and mature woman she is capable of being.
