First, she learns that her beloved older sister has breast cancer, followed by the news that the lease for the small cottage that has been her home for the past ten years will be cancelled in January 2000. The only bright spot on the horizon seems to be an extended visit from her niece Celia, who has recently dropped out from university. But Celia's visit may turn out to be the cruelest blow of all. For in the midst of Millennium fever, Immy falls unexpectedly-and mutually-in love with Celia's fiancé. As the year 2000 looms ever closer, Immy will be forced to make a life-altering decision. Should she accept this once-in-a-lifetime gift of love, or deny it for the sake of holding together the small, fragile family she treasures?
