Beautiful Virginia Oliphant is loved by two men--gay, irresistible Tony who tempts her with his millions, and steady, charming Michael who tempts her with nothing more than his devotion.
Because her brother is weak and needs her strength, and because she believes that he has it in him to be a great writer, Virginia is willing to sacrifice the chance for her happiness, until a disastrous affair with a sophisticated woman of the world brings the boy to a realization of his selfishness. From his pain and bewilderment is born his manhood and Virginia is at last free to make a choice for her own happiness. Source: Publisher.
