Valerie Taylor is a young lady who has it allbeauty, brains, and a bright future. She yearns for romance, but she just doesnt seem able to get it right. She has a couple of back-to-back affairs with Anton, who deceives her for another, and Bobby, who is staunchly married to his career. Valerie discovers herself with child, not certain who the father is. Shes devastated and left alone with Clare, her snobbish, racist, puritanical mother. Being a single mom was absolutely not in her plans. Valerie and her young son, Barry, glide through the years. Valerie has given up on love, or at least she had until Andrew, a successful physician, pops into her life. In time, Andrew loves Valerie, and Barry too. Hes the dad Barry has always wanted. Clare thinks hes perfect for her daughter. Andrew wants to tie the knot, but Valerie is reluctant. Love hasnt worked for her in the past. Why would it now? With the constant coaxing of Barry and Clare, Valerie finally allows Andrew to slip a ring on her finger. Theyre a happy pair until tragedy occurs. Valeries proud of Barry, who is now a college student. Barry has proven to be a great football player. Hes in his junior year, and his team makes it to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Bobby lives in California. He sees Barrys picture in the LA Times and recognizes his resemblance to Valerie. He thinks this might be the kid he fathered with Valerie and has been secretly supporting for the past nineteen to twenty years. Maybe he wanted nothing to do with the kid all those years ago, but its different now. Bobby wants to know his son, although Valerie might object. No matter. Bobby calls Valerie. And, with a bit of turmoil, love persists.
