“Their marriage is considered the legendary happily ever after with only the fiftyish couple TV network president Cassy Cochrane and her spouse Jackson Darenbrook knowing their relationship is a sham. He cheats and has been cheating since they said their vows. Her latest lover has helped Cassy feel better about herself.

Bartender Celia Cavanaugh feels she is drifting as she seeks an anchor in life in spite of her coming from affluence. She enjoys her much younger lover, but his mom makes her feel her age.

Literary agent Howard Miller has killed himself at work to maintain the family lifestyle. When that proves lacking he takes out loans so his wife Amanda and their children can continual to live in luxury. However his workaholic lifestyle has his spouse considering a tryst.

Sam and Harriet Wyatt and their two daughters live an enviable affluent lifestyle. However, their perfect little world implodes when one of their darlings informs her parents she is pregnant and refuses to name the father of her unborn.

The sequel to RIVERSIDE DRIVE is an enjoyable relationship drama with four couples facing issues. Although readers never get deep inside any of the ensemble cast as there are too many leads with four equally prime subplots, fans will still enjoy the fast-paced happenings at RIVERSIDE PARK.”

    Ms. Van Wormer,

    Have loved reading ALL of your books and occasionally read one a second time. My favorites are the Riverside ones and would just love the have another one. The characters are wonderful–certainly there is another novel out there waiting to be told….

    Sincerely, Claudia Pujol

    "I really wanted to know what was happening to Cassy and Alexandra during the last few Sally Harrington books. This is the book that goes back and tells us the things that happened behind the scenes. I've read all the books Laura has written at least 2 to 5 times. She is a most excellent writer"—T Pannell
