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 readers of traditional women's fiction.

The seemingly bucolic lives of three families living on a cul-de-sac in an upscale suburban Connecticut town are suddenly undermined by the pregnancy of the young, attractive, and reclusive widow who shares their street. Although the three couples seem to have it all, no household is without its difficulties, and the wives can't help but wonder if one of their husbands is the father. Amanda and Graham O'Leary appear to have the perfect marriage, but the ordeal of infertility treatments is making their lives miserable. Karen Cotter has dealt with her husband's philandering before, but now it's affecting their children. Russ Lange is a househusband while his wife, Georgia, travels the country for her juice company. The wives are good friends, yet they have been less than friendly with the widow while their husbands go over regularly to fix one thing or another around her house, thus underscoring their wives' hostility. Each woman is moved to evaluate her life and find out what is important to her; then, in the midst of all this involving introspection, a crisis materializes at the high school, adding to the tensions in each household. Delinsky's adept and compelling exploration of the inner workings of the modern upper-class American family makes for one of her best books to date, an achievement that should broaden her appeal beyond her faithful romance fans.
