This is an auction for A TIME FOR FRIENDS by Patricia Scanlan.

Amazon.com reviews:

"This is another great book by Patricia Scanlan. The story is about a family that has basically every normal major struggle within it. The main character, Shauna, is married to a socializing work-aholic. Shauna wants nothing more than to have another child so her daughter can have the close, happy relationship she has with her sister, Carrie. Carrie has the perfect life, great husband and well behaved children. She also has the task of taking care of the judgmental, religious father who put judged them all growing up. After the death of his wife, he needs constant babying and caring. Carrie feels slightly resentful, but misses Shauna when she leaves to live a wealthy life in the Gulf. While their gay brother lives in London far from judgmental eye of their father."

"FIVE STARS!! I really enjoyed all the characters in the story and the story line. It turned out I have read it twice now, but got so involved again that I kept reading to see what happened. It has to be great for me to bother doing that."

"FIVE STARS! I received my copy of "Divided Loyalties" with the usual great expectation and I was not let down. Her books seem to get better and better. I got totally hooked by this one. A wonderful story about family, friends and values. But most of all about those small, apparently insignificant, things which turn out to be not so small, after all. There is laughter and tears and fun and struggle, but above all there is warmth, forgiveness and understanding. Patricia Scanlan at her best. Much recommended."
