Fiona Maye is a leading High Court judge in the family court, renowned for fierce intelligence, exactitude, and sensitivity. But professional success belies private sorrow: the regret of childlessness and a thirty-year marriage in crisis. Fiona is trying an urgent case: a beautiful seventeen-year-old boy is refusing life-saving medical treatment for religious reasons. Fiona visits the boy in the hospital, and her decision has momentous consequences for them both.
