Barbara Delinsky is one of my favorite authors and this book, written in 1987 is an example of one of her best stories. It's about a woman, Sabrina Stone, who struggles to care for her brain-damaged child and threat it has to her marriage. Her life changes when she meet Derek McGill who has been convicted of murder and is in prison. It's all about how love conquers all. A great read!
I wasn't so thrilled with the ending of this book. I felt that the beginning was great, but towards the end the author hurried up to tie up the story neatly.
I always enjoy Barbara Delinsky's books.

If you haven't read any of delinsky's books, give them a try. They are usually good and easy to read, just enjoyable.
From the back, "Committments is a quintessential Barbara Delinski novel that moves us with its intimate portrayal of a man and a woman - their struggle, their sensuality, their pure joy."
On her Manhattan rooftop terrace, elegant Sabrina Stone looks like a society wife, except for the handicpped child in her arms. She speaks with investigative reporter Derek McGill for only a few minutes, it is long enough to tell her all she needs to know about this caring man. Sabrina next meets Derek in a maximum security prison, after he is convicted of murder. She comes to tell him she believes in his innocence and finds him a man hardened by experience yet one who still loves her and her son. But to commit herself Sabrina must finally end her marriage, and begin a fight for the man's freedom that holds no guarantees, only the promise of fulfilling all of their dreams.
Good read.
Barbara Delinsky never fails to warm your heart. Her books are filled with love, passion and humor. Commitments is a perfect example of that.
