After seeing Sian Richards picture in the literary section of the newsletter, Charles Callahan wrote to her. She was his first love in high school and he thought there could be no harm in an innocent correspondence. However, the correspondence resulted in a meeting. One meeting led to another and then both parties were living a lie with their respective spouses. Parts of this novel rang true, while other situations were unrealistic. Sian was a more believable character than Charles. The mechanism of using letters in the book was a good way to keep the plot going.
