Much of the story centres on the mundane aspects of being forced to deal with the loss of her husband as a man and the acquisition of him as a child. Time passes and things do not improve. Slowly, even Steve's closest friends begin withdrawing their support. Eventually, Alison is forced to decide whether she will continue to stick by Steve, or whether she will go on without him.
