Isable finally has it all: a rising career and a warm relationship with a wonderful man, a tenuous rapport with her teenage daughter, Denny. But in the blink of an eye, everything changes. When Denny runs away, Isabel's world falls apart. Marshall is incapable of understanding her anguish, and just when she needs him most, he, too, runs away.
This is my 10th book by Ms Charlotte and it was written in 1977 so is dated thereby. It is hard to believe that Denny was so turned off by her loving Mother for no reason that I could figure. Maybe life in 1977 was badder than in 2002. The scene where Isabel goes to the house, hoping to find her daughter, is horrendous. The last page or so was weak when Mother and daughter come together. Forgive me, Charlotte, if you ever see this. I love your work and you have really grown since 77.
