Vanella Morris is beautiful, strong, successful and extremely happy with her long-time boyfriend Alton. But Vanella is also uneasy and apprehensive about making big commitments. She doesn't want to end up divorced like most of her girlfriends or stuck in a loveless marriage like her parents. When Alton proposes, she has to make the most important decision of her life: walk away now from this good thing or convince Alton that by living together the marital bliss he longs for can still be theirs.
