Chapter One: Maggie Meets John

A young woman who is longing to start a family, becomes involved in a complicated love triangle with a struggling married novelist and his haughty theorist wife. After a period of flirtation, they fall in love and have a baby together, but their new life still leaves her unfulfilled. Is it perhaps because the best thing for daddy to do is to go back to his wife?
