Summary: Typical Goldsmith Novel
Comment: Karen Kahn, a fashion designer at the top of her field, should be on top of the world with happiness. So why isn't she? She's dealing with the knowledge that she's unable to have children, is searching for her biological mother, and is selling her successful business, reluctantly. Feeling pressured from all sides---husband, mother, sister---Karen slowly takes control of her unstable life. This book is written in typical Goldsmith style---stressed out female becomes a strong female able to take control of her life----fun to read, but very predictable.

Summary: Sometimes late is right!
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a relaxing read and doesn't require one to devote a lot of mental power to understanding the message. As a female, like most of my gender, I am interested in the fashion world. Goldsmith, in this tale, gives a key-hole view of the fashion world as it were at the time of her writing. The fashion world has changed a little since then, but, not much. Models still starve themselves, or binge then purge, or manage their health through a good exercise and food intake program or are naturally thin. Message her is THIN IS IN. Hopefully, the readers are motivated who choose this profession to follow the healthy approach and not the obvious unhealthy ones.
As long as we follow the practice of clothing our bodies in our society, we will be concerned about what we wear. Now I give the provision of wearing clothes because from what I am seeing in our society today, we are wearing smaller and smaller amounts of clothing. The tiny tops and bottoms that are in fashion for the ladies and men, border on returning to the Tarzan and Jane era--meaning very little clothing.
Karen Kahn does a sizable job of revealing to us the competitive nature of her the fashion designing profession. Weave into her workworld are the pressures she faces in her private and/or home life. For her, home life was not very good. Her husband, sister (half), and mother (adoptive) all had contradicting programs which made for little harmony for her. Facing pressures from home life and work life make for a pressure cooker environment. Sooner or later something must give. Now many of us, who live in the real world, have experienced or are experiencing such a pressure driven environment and can identify with her plight. Thanks to her, we now know we can work our way out of that sick environment and live a healthy life ever after.
I love heroine stories and hope Goldsmith keeps them coming.

Comment: I was dissapointed. I liked a lot of her other books but this one seemed to drag on and i kept waiting for something to happen. Not one of my favorites.
