When Kelly MacLeod becomes a Massachusetts Family Court judge, she is determined to do what is right. But what is right when one's deepest personal emotions clash with the law? Anne Madison, a respected state reformer with political aspirations, wants custody of her 12-year-old adopted daughter Tessa, as does Randall Madison, a prominent physician. Tessa, caught between warring parents, on the brink of her own sexuality, wonders who her birth mother is, and tries to please those she loves at a cost that just might be too high. How does Kelly balance public service with private desires? What does it mean, legally and emotionally, to be a family? How do parents move past anger and sorrow toward compassion and wisdom? How do they learn to temper their own wills with the best needs of the child?
