From Erich Segal 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 has once been unfaithful—only once, ten years ago during a business trip to France. What Bob didn’t know was that his brief affair produced a son. Now a tragic accident—and one fateful phone call—will change Bob and Sheila’s life forever. . . . “A jewel . . . just about perfect . . . the instant emotion Love Story had.” — The Plain Dealer “Memorable.” — The Pittsburgh Press "From Eric Segal comes an unforgettable story of love....the drama of a father and the son he never knew...
