When Linda Barbour Vanderbilt reluctantly returns to WVU for her husband's 30-year fraternity reunion with him and her teenaged daughter, she doesn't know if she'll be met with welcome, indifference, or rejection. Not only will she be reunited with friends JoAnne, Regina, and Marya, but she may also run into Simone, the catalyst behind her running away from WVU after sophomore year, abandoning her friends and the life she had planned. As the weekend reunion progresses, Linda finds herself faced with open arms, indifference, and disdain. When an unexpected event extends their stay, Linda hears and tells shocking secrets, faces her demons, and discovers the similarities and differences among all of her and her husband's college friends during the sixties and ensuing 30 years, all while trying to instill wisdom in her daughter she's not yet gained herself.
