Search - Accident

This book is about a woman whose life gets turned upside-down. Her daughter is in an accident(hence the name), her husband is cheating on her, and she is in the middle dealing with it all.

I thought this book was very good. A little repetitive, but great story.

I loved this book..couldn't put it down till I finished reading it! Very heartwarming..and heartbreaking..wonderful book! I felt as though I could feel every emotion as she went through all the trauma and trials of her life.
Gave this to a friend to read as soon as I was through and she felt the same way! Read it straight through before she put it down. Great read!!

Packed with Steel's trademark dense plotting and incidents featuring everything from sexual abuse and infidelity to car crashes and impossible relatives, her 32nd novel (after Vanished ) is set in California's plush Marin County. Page Clarke, devoted wife of Brad and mother of Allyson and Andy, finds her golden life shattered when 15-year-old Allyson sneaks off with friend Chloe to meet two boys. In a subsequent head-on collision, one boy is killed, Chloe is seriously injured and Allyson lapses into a coma. Page can't reach Brad, who confesses when he comes home that he is having an affair. Stunned and hurt, Page keeps a vigil at Allyson's bedside while also coping with needy seven-year-old Andy and an ambivalent husband who can't decide whether to stay or leave. Her only support comes from Chloe's father, Trygve Thorensen, who has been the primary caretaker for his kids since their mother divorced him. Other plot twists include a visit from Page's self-indulgent, neurotic mother and her sister, and a secret concerning the driver of the other car in the accident. While not drawn in much depth, the characters are believable; Trygve in particular is likable and nurturing. The ending is predictable but pleasant, bound to delight Steel's fans.
