Even on their wedding day, John and Irene sensed that they
were about to make a mistake. Years later, divorced, dating
other people, and living in different parts of the country,
they seem to have nothing in common-nothing except the most
important person in each of their lives: Sadie, their
spirited eighteen-year-old daughter. Feeling smothered by
Irene and distanced from John, Sadie is growing more and
more attached to her new boyfriend, Ron. When tragedy
strikes, Irene and John come together to support the
daughter they love so dearly. What takes longer is to
remember how they really feel about each other. Elizabeth
Berg's immense talent shines in this unforgettable novel
about the power of love, the unshakeable bonds of family,
and the beauty of second chances.
