Synopsis
After the wedding of Diana Goode and Andrew Douglas, Diana teases that they will make a baby on their honeymoon. But long afterward she is still not pregnant, and as the couple wait out each month only to be bitterly disappointed, they are forced to ask how much they are willing to endure to have a child.
Charlie Winwood dreams of a house filled with children. His bride, the party-girl actress Barbie Mason, has other ideas. When Charlie discovers he is sterile, he has to rethink his deepest values, and his marriage to a woman who shares none of his dreams.
After ten years of living together, Pilar Graham, a prominent Santa Barbara attorney, marries Judge Brad Coleman, nineteen years her senior and the father of two grown children. They are happy with their comfortable life together until Pilar begins to wonder whether she will one day regret not having a baby with Brad. Through these three couples, Danielle Steel examines the victories, defeats, tragedies and joys of building a modern family.
