By Author: Danielle Steel - Irresistible Forces

When life's unexpected changes pull two
people in different directions, sweeping them
into new lives and changed worlds ...

For fourteen years,Steve and Meredith Whitman have sustained a marriage of passion and friendship, despite the demands of two all-consuming careers. Meredith is a top investment banker, Steve a gifted physician - the only thing missing in their life is children. Steve longs for them. But Meredith keeps putting off motherhood, and she has been offered an extraordinary job opportunity in San Francisco, three thousand miles away. Steve urges her to accept, saying that he's more than happy to uproot himself and join her as soon as he can find a new job himself. Perhaps in California, he hopes, they can begin a family at last.

Neither Steve or Meredith had reckoned on a prolonged separation, but Steve's job keeps him in New York for months longer than planned. Weekends together fall prey to their hectic schedules. Alone in San Francisco, Meredith is spending long hours at the office with her boss, charismatic entrepreneur Callan Dow. Steve is working late shifts at the hospital, grabbing an occasional dinner with a new female colleague. Almost unnoticed, Steve and Meredith have begin living separate lives, and irresistible forces start to t ear their lives & hearts apart.

With unerring insight, Danielle Steel explores what happens when lives that fit together like delicately balanced puzzles are shifted, changed and drift apart. Who survives and if love survives, is at the core of Irresistible Forces.

Review

Oliver Watson's world suddenly dissolves around him when Sarah, his wife of eighteen years, returns to Harvard to get her master's degree. Oliver is left on his own, with three children and a freedom he never wanted.

When Oliver's mother is diagnosed as having Alzheimer's diesease and dies soon thereafter, Oliver's father's life is changed as well. Brave than his son and with less of a future before him, George Watson, at seventy-two, quickly embraces new relationships and, eventually, a new marraige.

Ben, Oliver's oldest son, rejects his father and reaches outwards, under the illusion that he is grown up and can make it on his own. Melissa, the middle child, blames Oliver for her mother's desertion. And Sam, the "baby", is too shaken to deal with it at all. Now the only parent, "Daddy" must somehow cope with his troubled family and explore a new world of new responsibilities, new women, and new experiences.

Each of the three men must start a new life: Oliver in New York and then in Los Angeles with his children and his new relationships with women; his widowed father with the woman next door; and seventeen-year-old Ben with his girlfriend and baby. Nothing is as it was before...nothing is as they once thought it would be. But in the end, different is better...different is more...for each of them - and especially for "Daddy".
