Wonderful, exciting book! I couldn't put it down - it kept me guessing until the end. I highly recommend. :)
Writers Owen and Linda McFarland have been incredibly happy for seven years. During that time they've worked hard to make his son Bruce and her daughter Emily part of a real family on their Massachusetts farm. Now handsome Bruce is a high school senior with a girlfriend he is crazy about. Pretty Emily is a sophomore at the same boarding school. Then shortly before Thanksgiving, Emily tries to kill herself.
Confined to a private hospital, a sullen, angry Emily says Bruce raped her. He swears he didn't. One of them is lying. Finding out the truth may tear apart a lifetime of illusions, and a marriage -- in a story about stepfamilies and secrets, trust and love that will touch your heart...

Interesting and not entirely predictable story about a stepfamily. The characters were strong and the focus on the marriage interesting.
Another amazing Nancy Thayer novel. Could not put it down.
Had to know who was telling the truth and how the family would survive.

This was a really good read, as fast one as well. I read it over the weekend. I think I will check into some more books by Nancy.
