For most people, going to college is the beginning of their lives away from their parents, when they search for the meaning of their lives. Not so for Bobbie Lamont, who chooses to stay at home with her parents instead of moving away. After graduating from Saint. Augustine Academy for Girls and then falling in love with Malcolm Pryce, Bobbie was ready for the next stage of her life, attending college at Tulane University. Once again, her only friend is Billie Carver, who is also attending Tulane.

It is the summer of 1990 and Bobbie Lamont has graduated from Tulane University, believing that her relationship with Lawrence Harris, her English professor, would enter a new phase.

She meets Miller Hoffman, a 17-year-old, bright, but troubled young man, three days before the Fourth of July, and her life changes.
