A wonderful book! Delinsky grabs your interest immediately and keeps it going 'til the last page. I recently started reading her when someone gave me her book "Suddenly" and read 8 more by her. "Coast Road" and "Three Wishes" are also great. This one is about a mother that didn't bond with her daughters while they were growing up, and why, and all the regrets on both sides, as they all reluctantly come together for Mom's 70th birthday. It's a great love story, but much more than that. Expect to shed a tear, and a few smiles. A great book! One you will want to keep on your library shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Done!, December 29, 2001
By A Customer
I really enjoyed this book! The characters were extremely well-rounded and fleshed out. After reading the novel, they stayed with me as if they were old friends.

The story was realistic and held my attention. I read the book in a day and a half because I couldn't put it down. The dialogue was so natural. I truly felt like Barbara could have been recounting a true story word for word. The relationships between the characters are 3-dimensional, and I understood all the character's reasons for making the decisions they made. I cried, I laughed a little, and I felt alot.

This book revealed some truths about how many people live their lives in fear of being unaccepted and unloved, and how some do not know how to show love or know when they are loved.

4.0 out of 5 stars The daughters found out that their mother was human too, October 11, 2000
Another great book by Ms. Delinsky. It's funny how, as children, we imagine our parents a certain way----mainly because they are our guidance and our disciplinarians-----but when we are grown up and they let us see their true human events in their lives, it's at times crushing and at times comical and at times refreshing. This is a wonderful story, and as a 50 year old woman, I surely can relate to it as well as understand some of the perplexing attitudes and looks I get from my twin, 16 year old daughters. This book will make you think about relationships of long ago.Read it, you'll love it.
