The Last Chapter

The Last Chapter is the story of Nancy Strong Walton's triumph over guilt and tragedy. She finds true love and romance with her high school sweetheart in the twilight years of her life. Her present fulfilment is sharply contrasted through flashbacks from her priviliged youth, her unhappy marriage to a distinguished, but philandering nuclear physicist, the tragic suicide of her homosexual son and her rebellious daughter's marriage into the Iranian royal family. This enthralling story is underpinned by the development of the American nuclear weapons program and its unfolding political implications.
