This novel keeps the reader in suspense at the end of every chapter-waiting for the soap commercial. Can Molly Jorgenson and Johnny Hunter, teen-age lovers and troubled children of divorce, find lasting happiness by racing the stork to the altar?

Is life a game of second chance or an inescapably heir-conditioned nightmare...

The kiss comes, of course, from Johnny, but before that...
