As stunning visually as she is vocally, singer-actress Karen Akers is universally considered this generation's 'Cabaret Goddess.' Just as highly regarded in the theatre and in film, she's never been more captivating than in this live full-length concert DVD.

They buy a house, have a daughter, and Rachel thinks they are living happily ever after until she discovers that Mark is having an affair while she is waddling around with a second pregnancy.
