When Ellen Gulden learns that her mother has cancer, her father insists that Ellen come home to look after Kate. Ellen has always been the special child, the high achiever, her father's intellectual match. All her successes have been geared to pleasing her academic father, yet as Ellen cares for Kate she learns many surprising things about her mother's life and the choices she has made. As Kate Gulden's pain increases so does Ellen's belief that her mother's suffering in unendurable. That doesn't mean she could possibly give the overdose of morphine that kills her, but, standing accused of a mercy-killing, she believes she knows who did.

"Ich nehme an, meine heutigen Bekannten glauben, daß ich nach Hause gegangen bin, um für meine Mutter zu sorgen, weil ich sie liebte. Und manchmal glaube ich, daß es, ohne daß ich es ahnte, im Grunde meines Herzens so war. In Wahrheit fühlte ich, daß ich keine Wahl hatte. Ich mußte beweisen, daß ich ein Herz besaß."
