DEFINITELY TOO MUCH INSECURITY!

The tale of implied adultery and its destructive force leads to an excellent story. Isabel Barker walked out on her husband when he admitted to having an affair with her sister, Faith and that they had a child together. Now she has to deal with Will's mother, Leah who apparently was a possessive mother. Leah reacts badly to her son's death. She want everything of his. Isabel is guilt ridden about keeping the truth from her parents, who might take little eighteen month old Tony away from Ben. The four of them, Will and Isabel - Ben and Faith had been close friends for over seven years. Isabel always felt that Faith was the favored daughter. How could she destroy her mother's love for Faith with the knowledge of her sister's tawdry actions? How could she destroy Ben's belief in Tony as his son? For three months she has carried this destructive knowledge. How can she ever forgive her sister or her husband? How can she be feeling the emotions that Ben arouse in her now? More guilt! Ben doesn't deserve to have his life destroyed yet his affections for her are now suspect. Is he just trying to keep her quiet? Now when they start to admit to the possibility of love between them they further confuse the issue by hoping into bed. Then Isabel decides this is wrong. Yeah! right! And then she can't decide to marry Ben? Yuck! they live together for 6 months before she will commit? This attitude is what ruined a good story for me. Excellently written - good subject matter - but crazy woman! or attitude! Will recommend with reservations [about attitude] Too much angst for me.

intriguing family drama

Isabel Barker has known for months that her estranged husband Will and her married sister Faith were having an affair. She never informed her brother-in-law Ben feeling unsure whether to tell him or not that his wife cheated on him with her brother-in-law. However, the car crash that killed the cheating lovers leaves her no choice as she feels she must explain to the grieving husband that his eighteen month old child Tony does not contain his DNA. Ben is stunned with Isabel's accusations that their deceased spouses were fleeing with their infant when they crashed. He assumes at first that she is filled with guilt over her rift with her late husband. However, as Ben begins to accept the truth about his wife and their child, he sees how loving and nurturing Isabel is towards her nephew. As the two work closely together to insure that Tony is loved the cuckolded pair fall in love, but can they make a happy family of three out of the tragedy. Though the intriguing family drama at times feels like a soap opera, fans will enjoy this fine contemporary romance that demonstrates the healing power of love. The adults are a delightful duo as they struggle with anger and resentment towards their late spouses which in turn makes it difficult to admit they love one another until their feelings towards the innocent child and each other begins healing them. Fans of deep character study tales will appreciate Awesome Anna Adams' strong tale. Harriet Klausner
