Trapped by a loveless marriage spanning two decades and hounded by ungrateful children, artist Andrea Fremont fears that her life is ending before it really began. Her family doctor gives Andrea a choice: medicate herself, or take a vacation - no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Even as her domineering husband forbids her to leave, Andrea flees his attempt to wreak havoc on her life and arrives at the lush Greek island of Santorini. She finds lush, romantic vineyards, the ancient windswept ruins of Akrotiri, and - to her great surprise - a lover twenty-five years her junior. But could what started as a 'fling' turn into something more, even as her husband schemes to get Andrea back under his thumb? Will a new love be enough to break Andrea free of her husband and restore her long lost passion for art, love, and life?
