Plot Summary of Love Changes
"Elaine Lewis seemed to have the ideal life, with great friends and a busy social calendar. Most importantly, she had the perfect husband in Martin, a physician who loved her more than she could ever love herself. She was the envy of all her friends.

But what they didn't know was that Elaine was hiding a painful secret from her past. The birth of Martin and Elaine's son, Stevie, forces Elaine to recall her past, and she refuses to find room for him in her heart.

Stevie's birth drives a wedge between the once-happily married couple, throwing Elaine into a downward spiral of gambling, adultery and denial. Eventually she must face her past in order to try saving her future.
"

Dennis Patrick Michels, Resident Scholar
