Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London's Family Court division. She is intelligent, talented, and dedicated to her profession. When marital difficulties arise she throws herself into her work with even more focus. One high profile case is in the forefront, the case of a Jehovah's Witness parents refusing to allow a teen-aged son, dying from leukemia, to get the treatment he needs because it requires blood transfusions. Despite her efforts to remain detached, her ruling on this case sets a string of unintended events in motion that change the lives of all involved. All of this leads to Fiona making an examination of her life and the choices she has made. This is a "quiet" book with little action and lots of internal soliloquies.
