This is a sweet novel about a divorced couple finding their way, and refining their relationship, after their daughter's traumatic experience. It was a quick read with very realistic situations and characters.
John and Irene got married late - they were 36-years-old - and both had doubts going in. Fast-forward 20 years, and they're divorced and living in separate cities, he in Minneapolis, she in San Francisco. The one thing they share is their beloved 18-year-old daughter Sadie. When Sadie runs into some trouble, John flies to San Francisco to be with Irene.
I really like John and Sadie, but found Irene kind of annoying (though I think that added to the believability of the books/characters). Elizabeth Berg is an author I read regularly, and this book was one of her best. Just a nice, enjoyable story.
