Summary: Finding your way back to what's really important...
Review: An ex-husband is forced to become primary care-giver to his 2 daughters while his ex-wife lies in a coma. In the process he discovers his life isn't what he wants and finds what he wants.I enjoyed the book written from the guy's perspective. All the friends of the ex-wife were interesting and I wished I could have learned more about them. This is the 2nd Delinsky book I've read and they were both enjoyable reads.

Summary: A story of finding truth and forgiveness!
Review: Several in a book group read this. We all enjoyed deeply. Kept wanting it to move a little faster, but once it we got to the end, we appreciated where the author took this book.

Summary: A very insightful story
Review: Believe the friend who tells you that you will love this book. Settling down with what I thought would be just another break-up and make-up book, I was surprised to find a remarkably insightful story. Delinsky beautifully examines the time it takes to heal past and present wounds, both physically and emotionally. In different ways, each character wishes for one thing with their voices and another in their hearts. We meet characters who are at times stubborn, tired, confused, frustrated and even sarcastic; I could see someone I know in each one of them. I could even catch a glimpse of myself in a few places. This story made me wonder what would happen if someone had to instantly step into my life. What would my friends and family think about me?

Summary: Heartwarming - Hard to put down !!!
Review: This was the kind of book I hated to see end. I wonder how Rachel, now awake, would react to the "new" Jack. All in all, this was a terrific read, involving me in a life other than my own.

Summary: Wonderful Story !
Review: I really liked this story, it seemed as though Rachel was never going to wake up but it was worth the wait. I am now on my second Delinski book and i will read lots more from the looks of it.

Summary: BAD ATTEMPT AT LAVYRLE SPENCER STYLE!
Review: In all fairness I listened to this story on audiocassettes (ABRIDGED) I checked out of the library. I wasn't impressed with this story. After reading all the terrific reviews I must admit I let my excpectations get too high. I was expecting a story that would move me much like a LaVyrle Spencer novel. I couldn't connect with these characters. I was unable to comprehend why Rachel didn't discuss things with Jack when their marriage broke up six years before? Why did Jack allow this to happen without explaination? I couldn't believe the author wanted me to accept the concept of them getting back together because she had been in a coma. Why did it take this to make them want to talk about their probelms? I felt that if the marrige meant anything to the two of them, they would have at least tried to talk. I think it could have been plausible if they had tried to work things out through discussion and then found they still wanted a divorce. I had a real probelm with Jack allowing his 15 year old daughter to tell him what she intended to do on prom night. Who was the adult? I can understand that certain young people can be very mature, but the adult is responsible for setting guidelines etc. Why do we want our young people to have to make adult decisions so soon? I'm no advocate of keeping young people in the dark about things, but as a teenager I really appreciated my parents giving me rules and guidelines to follow. Before we know it we are all grown up and full of responsibilities. I'm only 30 years old and I felt it was very irresponsible of Jack to handle things the way he did? I'm sorry but I didn't like this book, I gave it 2 stars because I listened to an abridged audio and wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt on what I didn't get from this story.

Summary: a very good book that makes...
Review: a person really think about what in there lives is important. dont get me wrong, i do know whats important, but its nice to have a gentle reminder of what really matters. this book offers a gentle reminder of just that. these two people really loved one another, but because of lack of communication, they lost it. it took a terrible accident for one to realize this, and after she is finally able to come to again, he lets her know...is it to little to late?? read and you'll find out ::smile
