Lake Barcroft

In a 60s suburb of Washington, D.C., Beck Lyons, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the U.S. Senate Majority Leader, is pregnant. To protect the family reputation Beck’s grandmother, a proud Virginia Episcopalian sends Beck to a Catholic school for unwed mothers. Beck returns to her former life always to hide the secret. She marries Randall, her teenage lover, unable to tell him what she'd done until she becomes convinced their teen-aged daughter has started to follow his popular band. Afraid of the possibility of incest Beck struggles to live with the lie.
