Melanie is a top TV news reporter, living in New York with her twin teenage daughters. Peter is a handsome and divorced heart surgeon working at an L.A. hospital with three children of his own. A chance meeting leads to instant romance and eventual marriage, bringing about drastic changes in their lives…. not all of them good. The clash of their careers is nothing compared to the storm of emotions that is unleashed when all five children have to share the same home and a whole new set of ground rules. The family disharmony is more than Melanie can cope with and she finally quits the home, pregnant and feeling desperately hurt and alone. Can the children come to their senses and bury their differences? And can Peter finally let go of his past and make the necessary compromises, or risk losing Melanie forever? (official distributor synopsis)

Films based on Danielle Steel’s novels are said to be more successful than the novels themselves. That's hard to understand. Anyway, this film is a specialty describing an "ordinary life situation" in which two divorced families come together, and after settling their differences between an infinite number of children, their happiness is sealed by the conception of a new offspring. One of the children is Renée O'Connor, an actress who to this day is building on her only career success when she was Xena’s underling.
