- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5People on Amazon weren't crazy about this, but I thought it flew by. Farm-bred Robb planned to marry his childhood sweetheart and settle down to an idyllic country life with perfect kids... and what happened was pretty much the opposite.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm not usually a big Belva Plain fan, and this book reminded me why. The storyline is interesting but drags. But she has so many devoted readers -- I'm sure this book will be a hit with them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Robb McDaniel led a charmed life; he was an idealistic young teacher engaged to his high school sweetheart. Then a sudden windfall, tragically earned, gave him the chance to go to law school and pursue a brilliant career. But nothing in his life could have prepared Robb for the price of a dream come true.A job at a prominent law firm, marriage to the boss' daughter, a lovely family, a splendid home. Then came the offers that Robb couldn't refuse. His great success could lead to his greatest shame. I really enjoyed this Belva Plain book and give it an A+!
