Thanks! I think you might have been the first one, for all I can tell. I appreciate it so much, and would welcome a brief review (or a long one, for that matter) on Amazon, if you enjoy the novel.

Thank you, I like the way you characterize the books in so few, but insightul, words. As I think about the structure of the novel, I have one man dealing with three very different, but all strong, women. And, as suggested by the title, there are five child-parent relationships, all strong, somewhat troubled,driven by passion.
