This book is the final book by Belva Plain. It is a sequel to the characters that were first met in Evergreen, a book I greatly enjoyed many years ago. This author delves deeply into relationships: in this book especially between parents and their adult children. Iris and Theo Stern, a Jewish-American couple, are well-educated and have a devoted marriage. Though their sons have been a worry to them they've always depended on their daughter, Laura. However, when Laura has marriage difficulties and returns to New York to establish herself in a career, her choices are questioned.
Also, a long-held family secret is discovered. Iris remains strong amid family difficulties. This book is more simplistic than Evergreen but was enjoyable. Remembering the characters of books read long ago in this series and what has happened in their lives was interesting.
