Trish and Brad Hunter are in limbo. Eighteen years after bringing their first son, Phillip, home
from
the hospital, they discover that they are not his natural parents. Who are Phillip Hunter's real parents? And who is Trish and
Brad's biological son?
Someone Else's Son explores the host of questions, curiosities, family secrets, and changed relationships that have come with the discovery that Phillip was switched at birth. As doubts abound and relationships go awry, the whole family structure begins to shake. Every page challenges the role nurturing plays versus Nature's hidden genetic code. Brad Hunter feels it's his fatherly duty to assist Phillip in searching for his biological parents, while Trish wants no part of it - insisting that Phillip is their son, no matter what. The escalating conflict between husband and wife, and the unfolding of Phillip's first love affair, both add emotional stress to Phillip's search for his biological parents. Phillip questions could be anyone's - adopted children's, children from alternative forms of insemination or surrogate pregnancies, or those real-life children whose identities may have been mistaken in hospital nurseries. At one time or another, most of us have stared into a mirror, touched our lips, our noses, or checked our smiles to see if they were similar to a parent's or sibling's. It is human nature to wonder about our origin.
Do the years spent together and the shared experiences create the parent-child bond? Or is it the genetic make-up? Which
contribution has the strongest influence on the child? The extremely well-developed search for the truth makes Someone Else's
Son
an unforgettable first novel. |
"Snowflakes in the Sahara" is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that mixes the
drama of "Fail Safe" with the mind-manipulation of "The Manchurian Candidate" into a national nightmare.
Set in the backdrop of the ever-worsening global warming, "Snowflakes in the Sahara" is the story of a Svengali-like mind-manipulator (Lute Aurum) who teams up with an American business icon (Jeremy Steel) to take over the White House. When their puppet is installed as president, Aurum and Steel are poised to pull off the greatest heist in history: Canada. And they almost pull it off, if it weren't for Carly Mason, the Big Apple's tooth sleuth a forensic dentist. One terrible day, two disasters strike America at the same time: the president's helicopter carrying him to Camp David crashes and a bomb explodes in Rockefeller Center, leaving three bodies unidentified.
Carly is by turns tough and inquisitive, clever and cunning. She will need all her skills to discover the victims' names. As she
gets closer to the truth, a killer is dispatched to silence her. What follows is a gripping tale of heroism against all odds.
What's frightening is that "Snowflakes in the Sahara" is a tale that is only a presidential election away. |
