Love, Work, Children. This was the second in the Cheryl Mendolson trilogy and also quite good. She can write very well. I am saving the third for a time when I need something safe to read. This is another story of a Manhattan well to do family and their 'travails' with a car accident, mis-directed love affairs and a happy Dicken's like ending with everyone all sorted out and happily crammed in one room. I am very fond of her. She is a little heavy on the tying up of loose ends but after skimming her Housekeeping manual Home Comforts I realized she's a maniacal cleaning woman without a speck of extraneous foreign matter, unsanitized space or dangling threads. Her writing too is spick and span and her plot although a bit overstuffed is covered in a well laundered and ironed cover with no threads of plots left dangling at the end. Very satisfying.
