Friends since college, the six main characters of this book confront and/or relive their sexual past, create new lives for themselves, experience adult life together, and learn to forgive the past and nurture the future in this political thriller. Set throughout the United States and abroad this novel entertains the rich and glamorous lives of some, the hardships and disappointments they encounter, and teach us all that with the proper determination and drive, we can achieve anything we relish. Set during a presidential campaign during a massive hostage crisis, Mortman is at her best when her characters are struggling with their personal relationships while saving the world from disaster. This book will keep you up at night from page one...feeling as if the six characters are your college friends. It is easy to identify with the characters and understand the dilemmas facing them from page one.

I LOVE Doris Mortman's books...each and every one of them....especially TRUE COLORS...but what happened here???? Yes, she went with a new publisher but did she trade in her wonderful writing talent as well???? I cannot believe that she wrote this book...what a waste of time, talent and paper....I was so eager to get her book and was soooooooooo horribly upset and disappointed...could find not one redeeming factor....I hope that this will not be the way of future Doris Mortman books....sad. She was one of my very favorite authors....I bet I bought at least a dozen copies in hardbound and double in paperback of TRUE COLORS to give as gifts to friends...I loved that book so much...you could "see" the paintings in that book...please give us Doris Mortman back and not this imposter who "wrote" this one!!!!

The women in this book are believable, but the men running for office are not. Ms. Mortman has managed to make the Democrats pure and good, and the Republicans evil and horrible. The book would have been much better if she had been a bit more balanced in her approach to the affiliations of her characters. The relationships were not based on anything in particular, and the issues weren't very believable for a presidential campaign. She passed up many opportunities to make the plot take hold of the reader. She is a good writer, but this was a disappointment.

I have loved Doris Mortman ever since I read "First Born". I enjoyed this book but it is not one of her best. Some of the plot lines never really got fleshed out in my opinion and then all of a sudden, it's Election Day and the book is over. I felt like she could have built up the suspense a bit more.This was a great idea but she could have done a lot more with it. It doesn't compare to "The Wild Rose", which is my personal favorite. Mortman seems to know more about the political movements in Hungary than in her own country if you go by this novel.
