Book Synopsis

From Erich Segal comes an unforgettable story of love: the drama of a father and the son he never knew . . . and a marriage that must stand the greatest test of all.

Bob and Sheila Beckwith had everything: rewarding careers, two wonderful daughters, and a perfect marriage . . . almost perfect. For what Sheila didn't know was that Bob has once been unfaithful--only once, ten years ago during a business trip to France. What Bob didn't know was that his brief affair produced a son. Now a tragic accident--and one fateful phone call--will change Bob and Sheila's life forever. . . .
