This is one of my all time favorites of Barbara Delinsky. I have read it at least 3 times. It never gets old.

One of the best books I've ever read. You immediately get caught up into the lives of the characters and can feel their emotions as though they were your own.
As a Delinsky fan, I consider this one of her best books.
Very good, juicy read from Barbara Delinsky. Good beach book.

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.
FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND FORGIVENESS
Award-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 wome 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.
