Thirty-year-old Annie Thomas struggles as her marriage falls
apart. Searching for a healing outlet, she joins a poetry writing
group where she meets a man, George Taffer, whose name the Ouija
Board had spelled out years ago as the man she would marry.
Mystified, she enjoys their unfolding friendship as writing poetry fills
the empty place in her heart.
Early in their marriage, Annie had slipped into depression after the
death of her mother and abrupt remarriage of her father. Once she
recovers, she finds her husband, Harry, an ambitious lawyer, either
remote or angry. Annie persuades him to go to marriage counseling,
which he hates and quits abruptly. She suspects he might be having an
affair. With the help of her therapist, she learns she must stop being the
"good girl" and take charge of her life.
