Good One! Elayna Leopold works from home in New Jersey while her attorney husband works long hours in New York. Enter Kevin, a young artist and neighbor, and the passion and excitement that Elayne has missed is right back in her life. Add to that the fact that Hazel, Elayna's daughter considers Kevin her new best friend, and it DOES get complicated! Throw in Elayna's father, whom she suspects of molesting Hazel, and the plot thickens even more!

Good, interesting read.
