The year they spent together was actually a good year. Andrew did not love Jenny, but he was fond of her and adored his son. Finally, after worrying for a while about whether Jenny would fit into his diplomatic lifestyle, he told her she would not and then he left her. She found out she was pregnant again, with twins! She wrote to him, but he never responded. For three years, she did not know where he was and he did not worry about her and his son.

Phyllis Warady has a wonderful way of portraying a beautiful story. She explores the various thought processes that Andrew went through and allowed friends of his to interact with him in such a way that he was unsure whether or not he had acted in the best way. Jenny became self-sufficient and managed to take care of her staff as well as her three boys and her father-in-law. She suffered immensely during this period, and did not believe that she would ever again have to deal with her husband.

There are a myriad of actions which will surprise the reader and the ending will astound you! I really liked this book and could not put it down. It is a wonderful narrative and you will be thrilled to have read it.
