About this book

And now it seemed his estranged wife was nine months pregnant! Only, Ashley had walked out on Cord for good reason. She had never doubted that Cord would make a perfect father--it was his skills as a husband she'd begun to doubt. All the evidence suggested that he was having an affair. But Cord was determined to hold on to his newfound family, even if it meant holding out for another miracle--getting his wife back!

My mother kept them and one day, after I had become a mother for the second time, she sent me all my old letters and asked me to write my memories from them for posterity. At the time I thought she was insane, but because I adore my mother I did as she asked. By the time I'd finished sorting through all those teenage thoughts, observations and opinions, the seeds of a story had begun to form in my mind. The seed eventually became a novel and was published in 1979. It was called The Loving Season, published under the name Rebecca Burton. Naturally, it takes place in Switzerland and France.
