I absoulutely loved this book and couldn't wait to read the one after (Another Kind of Magic). Wynne Shipton is an author, writing under her father's name, finds a man she absolutely adores, who brings out all the feelings she has hidden inside herself for so many years. Wynne was forced to sign over her infant daughter at an early age to her husband Edward, who was very over-bearing, and the daughter grew up thinking her mother had died. Another Kind of Magic continues on with the story of Wynne coming to grips with letting go all her covered up feelings, wanting to see her daughter, wondering if she'd hate her if she found out her mother wasn't dead. Charlotte writes with so much feeling - she doesn't miss a beat! This book was written in the late 70's and is so "up to date" in the year 2001!

While the main character in this book is a bit far-fetched, it was still an interesting book because it presents a few unexpected twists and turns. Which makes for more realistic charactacters and an excellent choice of reading material.
