A young Gloria suffered the heartache of losing her father when she was nine years old. Her mother was unable to adjust and settled for a dubious suitor. His abusive nature complicated Gloria's idealism of how a man should behave - with respect.
Her plan was to escape. A terrifying accident in the uninhabited White Mountains of New Hampshire led to her savior, a mountain man, Gilles Fournier who had suffered the injustice of also losing someone very dear to him. Together, they mended their hearts but Gloria's steel-clad wall would remain with her until she met another injured soul, many years later.
Arriving in L.A., Gloria cast a new identity ─ Angela Fournier was born. Dissatisfied with her treatment and profession, an opportunity turned into friendship and a new mentor, George Stanza. Separately, they weaved the thread of suspense that revenged injustice and set Angela onto her course and destiny.
