From the author of LOVE STORY 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 had once been unfaithful - only once, ten years ago during a business trip to France. What Bob didn't know was that his brief affair had produced a son. Now a tragic accident - and one fateful phone call - will change Bob and Sheila's life forever..
