From School Library Journal YA-- The balancing act for women of the 90s--career， wife， mother--is described in a realistic manner. Amelia Stern is a pediatrician in a Boston teaching hospital. She is also the mother of four-year-old Alexander and a devoted wife to Matt. Klass describes the characters with such clarity that readers will immediately become involved with Amelia's patients and their traumas. This is a novel of mood and feelings rather than of fast-paced action; readers are able to get inside the minds of the characters and see events unfolding through their eyes. YAs will want to know what happens to each character introduced in the book.- Roberta Lisker， W. T.
