Summary

Whiterock, Oregon, is more than just a collection of buildings and the people who occupy them. There is also an entity, Whiterock, which is aware, with its own dreams for the future. But now its existence is threatened, by apathy and neglect.

Gus Loring is running from himself. Legally absolved of any fault, he nonetheless believes the flaming crash that took the lives of his wife and child could have been avoided if he had taken responsibility for her car's maintenance.

Sally Carruthers built her own prison. She gave up a promising career as a costume designer to come home to Whiterock and nurse her dying mother. Her father's deterioration from Alzheimer's kept her there, full of frustration and resentment. As her father's intelligence deteriorates, she finds herself hoping he will die soon- and hating herself for doing so.

Whiterock sees the promise of passion between Sally and Gus as having the potential to enhance its last attempt at survival. It enhances their sexual response to each other and gradually, it gains strength from their strong emotions. At the same time, Gus and Sally see changes in the town. Whiterock continues to gain strength from their growing love and passion, but knows that their relationship may not be permanent as too much of the past still burdens them.
