Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Shortly after her son's birth, 25-year-old Juley is told that she has only a few months to live. With the help of her doctor, she arranges for her baby, James, to be adopted by a loving couple, and then she takes a temporary post as companion to Sarah, an older woman, in order to fill in time until her incapacitation and demise. But life with Sarah is an adventure, especially when she decides on the spur of the moment to visit her sister, Agatha, in Mexico. Discovering that her first love is Agatha's neighbor, Juley, facing death, abandons her principles and engages in a torrid affair even though he is involved with another. Hampson's heartrending story is fraught with passion, drama, and pathos, and she pulls no punches in revealing her characters' faults as well as their more admirable traits, making this a good candidate for readers who enjoy a traditional romance with its attendant emotional upheavals and requisite manipulations.
