  • Jack McGill and Rachel Keats have been divorced for six years and each went their separate ways. He became a wheeler dealer San Francisco architect and she became a Big Sur artist. Though their marriage is a thing of the past, Jack panics when he receives a late night call informing him that Rachel has been seriously injured in a car accident. He rushes to see her as she lies in a coma. He immediately knows that their connection still remains strong.

    As Rachel remains in a coma, Jack moves into her home to care for their children and stay near her. He visits her every day and begins to meet her friends. Jack starts to understand why Rachel left him. He now knows he never had time for her and their children. He desperately needs to have a second chance to prove to Rachel and the kids that he has changed. Now, if she will only wake up to grant him his second chance.

    Barbara Delinsky has a strong and fluid writing style that constantly moves her story line forward in an interesting manner even as each plot is unique unto itself. COAST ROAD is a beautiful love story that stars a heroine who is in a coma throughout the novel. Only a daredevil like Ms. Delinsky would risk this type of device and only a talent like the Divine Ms. D could make it work so brilliantly. This authorĘs star is rising to levels unheard of by industry pundits.
