This is not a story of two people falling in love, but two people learning to love one another. It is one of the most romantic and touching books I've ever read.

I have read over 3000 books in my lifetime: mysteries, love novels, history, horror. I have sampled some of the best, and some of the worst. This is one of the best love stories I have ever read.

I love this book. If you never read another book, read this one. Especially if your love life is in trouble and you are considering the seperation thing. It will help you to step back and think about what is really important in your life.

Not your usual light hearted romance novel, but an intensely moving story of a marriage at the breaking point.As with life there are joys and sorrows, so be prepared for both.

Bearing all the distinctive qualities of a contemporary classic, The First Time is a dazzling illumination of a marriage at the crossroads, where the ties that bind become frayed but refuse to sever, and where a long estranged husband and wife discover, for the first time, exactly what love really means. At once profoundly cathartic and inspiring, The First Time finds Joy Fielding at the height of her powers as she explores the amazing resilience of the human spirit.

What a surprise! This touching story will have you angry one minute and even angrier the next. Although it is a romance, one of the best things about it is the way the characters grow and change. The dynamic between the two main characters is very well done.

And the ending? The ending is a surprise, not what one would expect. A great read!

Touching story about a women's courage and strength as she deals with living with ALS disease. Not giving up on the love she has for her husband by letting him come back into her life makes him fall in love with her for the first time! Get the box of kleenex ready...
