The women were college roommates, their husbands are partners in the same law firm, their kids have grown up next door to each other, and the two families share both vacations and holidays. </p> <p> Like Wisteria Lane, the &quot;perfect&quot; suburban street of <em>Desperate Housewives</em>, all is beautiful and serene -- until an accident forces these close neighbors to look beneath the surface. And when their idyllic lives are unexpectedly shattered by a moment that can never be erased or forgotten, their faith in one another -- and in themselves -- is put to the supreme test. </p> <p> In this moving, unforgettable story, Barbara Delinsky exquisitely captures the depth and complexity of the human heart as few writers can. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<blockquote> <p> Friendship, love, and forgiveness . . . </p> </blockquote> <p> The Maxwells and the Popes have been friends forever. The women were college roommates, their husbands are partners in the same law firm, their kids have grown up next door to each other, and the two families share both vacations and holidays. </p> <p> Like Wisteria Lane, the &quot;perfect&quot; suburban street of <em>Desperate Housewives</em>, all is beautiful and serene -- until an accident forces these close neighbors to look beneath the surface. And when their idyllic lives are unexpectedly shattered by a moment that can never be erased or forgotten, their faith in one another -- and in themselves -- is put to the supreme test. </p> <p> In this moving, unforgettable story, Barbara Delinsky exquisitely captures the depth and complexity of the human heart as few writers can. </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This story was interesting because of the trials the two families experienced--after the brief indiscretion.  Being that I'm married, the story helped me appreciate my devotion to my husband &amp; vice versa.  Also, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= More Than Friends" title=" More Than Friends"> More Than Friends</a> helps me appreciate the values my husband and I share.]]></body>
