When I first started reading this book I was annoyed by the whining and vindictiveness of Claires girls, and Heath’s boys. Children of divorce. But as the book progressed the story took a turn that was surprisingly gratifying. And, this is the way it should be with divorce. Read and discover a story many of us have lived.

While I normally enjoy her books, this one was a tad unrealistic. A total ego-maniac of a dad would in no way earn forgiveness for not only destroying the family but demanding his affair be readily accepted.

This is so vacuously formulaic that it became unreadable. Added to that, the characters were so unlikable that I needed them to be out of my life. DNF.

This story was wonderful….!

I really enjoyed this book.

Even with the best intentions,marriages come apart.Children involved are torn between two people that they love.Second marriages bring even more problems.What if the exes are suddenly involved with each other.Keep reading for the final results.

Excellent story about life and family.

This book took a good look at something so many of us have faced, infidelity & divorce along with the pain that affects the entire family. It isn’t just a marriage breaking apart, it’s a family being broken. Hurt, betrayal, harsh words, lashing out, things said & done that can take many years to repair. And, for some, that never happens at all. It was thoughtfully written, but I thought the ending was a bit simplistic. Still, I pretty much always appreciate Mrs. Macomber’s books & rarely pass on purchasing them.

Slow but now and again it draws you back in to the heart of the story and you smile.

I have laughed and cried many times while reading this book. What words can say that expresses how I love this author’s touch on this poignant story. I love how boundaries can be breached.
