Four stars at least. Very good book.
The woman next door is young, attractive, widowed, and pregnant. Since the neighboring

ladies know that she keeps to herself and doesn't receive visitors, they naturally wonder:

"Could my husband be the father?" Delinsky's latest novel is like a murder mystery, with

clues and even red herrings thrown in along the way, but Delinsky surprises the reader in

the end. Her plot concerns the personal problems of the three close couples who live on the

widow's cul-de-sac, focusing mainly on Amanda and Graham. Every detail of their own baby

quest is noted, including fertility treatments and the dissension with Graham's

baby-demanding family. Amanda's job as a school counselor is highlighted, especially when a

teenager commits suicide at school. Will Amanda have a baby of her own? And will the father

of her neighbor's baby make himself known? Popular author Delinsky (The Vineyard) has

written another book that will appeal to everyone.
