OVERVIEW

It’s New York’s most sought-after address. A boulevard lined with majestic mansions and impressive apartments, it’s where passions and secrets collide, where love is destroyed, then found again in the most unlikely place.

 

Michael and Cassy Cochran – They’re television’s perfect couple, but the veneer of their enviable marriage is starting to crack. And only one of them is trying to salvage it.

Sam and Harriet Wyatt – They’ve spent a lifetime getting to where they are, but they could lose it all in the blink of an eye when Sam stumbles upon a corporate secret.

Howard Stewart – He has the perfect job and the perfect wife, both of which are a perfect lie.

Amanda Miller – She has wealth, fame and a lifetime of heartache. She’s given up on men – until she meets the one she can’t resist.

Step onto Riverside Drive, where friends and neighbors determine each other’s destinies.

    "What the television show 'thirtysomething' is to 'Dynasty,' Riverside Drive is to the usual novel about frenzied, cynical Manhattanites. No lowlifes or high fliers here. Instead, 8 of the 10 main characters are decent, compassionate, patient and even self-sacrificing... The book's concerns are meaningful and not sensationalized: rotten bosses, love (heterosexual and lesbian), loneliness, children. And it is comforting to find characters who pitch in immediately to help one another."
