When Mary Hollister Beamer was 16, she became pregnant. While staying with her best friend that summer, she goes into premature labor. She is taken to an abortion clinic, where she is told her child was stillborn. Ten years later, Mary is married with a young daughter. Riddled with guilt over that summer in Atlanta, she has told no one - not her husband or her friends - about what happened. But others know. One day she gets a note in the mail: "I know what you tried to do. Your son is alive."
