What Dean Koontz book has the following passage in it?

Question

I don't know how it actually reads but here is the gist of it....there is a man with his wife in a car accident as she lay dying and he is describing his feelings of love and loss for her, i think she is trying to comfort him while he is thinking this or the other way around. i think its the most romantic passage i have every read, i think it was about a page long. they have changed the titles of some of his books and i don't know which one it was so if anyone knows please post it.

its one of his older books

the only other thing is there maybe that the baby is born (a male)and the man raises him and that maybe the boy is special but now i maybe mixing up the stories...guess i'll just reread all the ones you all suggested.

try this site -- it gives the cover art (which might trigger a memory), and a brief (very brief) summary of the novels. Maybe if one sounds about right, you can do an amazon.com search -- they have longer summaries, lol.

i hope you find it -- and i'm sorry we couldn't nail it for you right off the bat.

*****

it being an older book makes me thing it might be 'Shadowfires' -- where he's in the carnival, falls for a carnie, there's a scene running through the graveyard, and he foretells having to kill her -- and is devastated by the idea. in 'Watchers,' the pregnant wife is held by a gunman, and he fears for her life then...and at one point a vicious animal has her in its grasp as well (basic premise of the Other altho it's a lot more sophisticated than a 'vicious animal, lol)...

anything else you remember?

*******

do you remember any more about the book? what you've described is just vague enough to be a major scene in many of his books -- i found one passage in a recent book (Life Expectancy) where the pregnant wife is fighting for her life after being attacked by Beezo, there's a similar thing in Hideaway, except it's the male protagonist that's dying... or it could be part of the Odd Thomas books...or the Chris Snow books...

if you can remember anything more about the story (names, setting, any major event/description) that will help a LOT. or even what the cover art looks like, lol.

(and yes... he has a way with words, especially when it comes to describing a sense of loss!)
