Mary M. (emeraldfire) -
In another unforgettable story of love by the author of Love Story comes the story of a father and the son he never knew...And a marriage that must withstand the greatest test of all.
Robert and Sheila Beckwith had everything: rewarding careers - Robert as a statistics professor and Sheila as an editor for a distinguished publishing house; two wonderful, precocious daughters - twelve-year-old Jessica and nine-year-old Paula - and a marriage that was almost...perfect. For there was one thing thing that Sheila didn't know - that while on a business trip to France a decade before, Bob had been unfaithful to her. It had only happened one time, and was never repeated...
However, what Bob never realized was that his brief affair had produced a son. Now a tragic accident - and one fateful phone call - will change Bob and Sheila Beckwith's life forever...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was incredibly poignant and compulsively readable - although, I must say that I found the ending both satisfactory - and decidedly unsatisfactory - all at once. I was absolutely enthralled by this story. In my opinion, this was truly an excellent book - I give it an A+!
