A Special Relationship

Sally Goodchild embodies the qualities of a typical thirty-seven-year-old American journalist—independent, determined, and ambitious. Everything changes when she meets Tony Hobbs, an English foreign correspondent, while on assignment in Cairo. Their passionate yet uneasy romance leads to an unexpected marriage, pregnancy, and a new life in London. Adjusting to married life abroad proves far more challenging than either anticipated. As freedom gives way to responsibility, everyday struggles escalate into serious conflicts. After their son’s birth, Sally battles severe post-natal depression while Tony’s life stabilizes. Feeling isolated and betrayed, Sally must fight to save herself and her family. This gripping novel by Kennedy delves into the miscommunications that arise even when two people share the same language but miss crucial signals.
