Friendship, Love and ForgivenessAward-winning author Barbara Delinsky creates a spellbinding novel that explores the most powerful emotions within the human heart and soul. The Maxwells and the Popes are two families whose lives are interwoven like the threads of a beautiful, yet ultimately delicate, tapestry: the women were college roommates, their husbands are partners in the same law firm, their kids have grown up next door to each other, and they share both vacations and holidays.But when their idyllic lives are unexpectedly shattered by a moment that can never be erased or forgotten, their faith in each other -- and in themselves -- is put to the supreme test. Their story is one that strikes a chord in all of us, embracing as it does the universal passions that life has to offer...a story only Barbara Delinsky could tell.
As a Delinsky fan, I consider this one of her best books.

I loved this book. Its a sad but sweet story about 2 sets of families that have been life long friends, when something terrible tears them apart.
Its about everyone trying to figure out where they stand in their lives, forgiveness and moving forward.

Good story of what can happen to those family friendships we all envy. Two families who vacation together, holiday together and live on ajoining lots. I love Delinsky. This is an oldie but goodie.
