Summary
Recently divorced, Anna Dunlap has two passionate attachments: her daughter, four-year-old Molly, and her lover, Leo, the man who makes her feel beautiful — and sexual — for the first time. Swept away by happiness and passion, Anna feels she has everything she's ever wanted. Then come the shocking charges that would threaten her new love, her new "family"...that force her to prove she is a good mother.
The book was adapted to film in 1988, starring Diane Keaton and Liam Neeson. (From the publisher.)
