About This Book

“Delinsky knows the human heart and its immense capacity to love and to believe.” — Washington Observer-Reporter From the New York Times bestselling author of More Than Friends comes an emotionally charged novel that reflects upon the consequences of one irrevocable act. In the idyllic small town of Tucker, Vermont, life flows at a rhythmic pace for pediatrician Paige Pfeiffer. But when Mara O'Neill, her best friend and medical partner, inexplicably kills herself, Paige's comfortable life is suddenly shattered.

Temporarily caring for Mara's newly adopted baby daughter while she comes to grips with her grief, Paige clings to the hope that, in time, her orderly life will return. What she hadn't counted on were the unexpected pleasures that often come with change, including the touch of a man who offers Paige things she never thought she wanted.

For everyone who has ever made a choice between what is and what could be, Barbara Delinsky unveils a truly moving gift from the heart that captures one woman's story and ultimately speaks to us all.

Good story lines, interesting situations. But the characters are oblivious and their introspective monologues (while friends listen) go on for.ev.er. And the couple of scenes of seducing a reluctant participant (borderline date rape) didn't age that well. This book was published in the early 90s. Glad we've evolved.

The story grabs you in the first chapter. The characters are believable and normal and make mistakes. Loved them. You will too

I have always liked Delinsky's books though I used to read the romance ...

I have always liked Delinsky's books though I used to read the romance ones almost 15 years ago. I was honestly not aware that she had some good books that kept you turning the pages. I loved this book and all its characters. I kept looking at the bottom of my kindle to see the percentage I was at and would be shocked to see I was only at 30% since normally with other books at such a point you find the story is about to end. She was good very good. And a happy ending

Never disappointed in Delinsky books

All of her books strike are so realistic and I love them. Looking for a large print version or one of the larger paperback versions for a friend to give on "A Woman's Place". If any of you out there have one or know where I can get it I would greatly appreciate. pc

I have not read a book by this author but after finishing this book realized how much I missed it. This book was absolutely fabulous. Even though u can pretty much know the end the story was beautifully written. A must read.

Not my normal type of story, but found the story believable, the characters real and true in this day of "me" first. Watching the characters grow out of the "me" first rut and become compassionate beings glimpsed a hope for the real world for me. If the author could believe it then perhaps a better world is possible where we humans care enough to look below the surface of our fellow beings and see the pains we all suffer, rather then shut our hearts into introspective boxes of lonliness we keep hidden away.

Another great book by Delinsky!

I usually do not write reviews but this book is great! I am such a huge fan of this author for numerous reasons: 1~ All of the books of hers I have read are always so heart warming! 2~ When a book ends I am sad because I enjoy them so much I wish they would keep going! 3~ Most of her books take place in NH or New England, since I live in NH I can relate to the environment and settings. 4~ Her description of the characters is so great that you feel like you know them personally. I have only read about 5 of her books and I plan on reading all of them, my biggest problem is trying to decide which one to read next!
