"Timely, provocative, and as real as today's headlines, 'Daybreak' pulses with truth, takes our breath away with its extraordinary grace and eloquence, and brings vividly to men and women so real they will long remain in our minds and hearts." This is a story of two babies switched at birth. One is the son of a prominent Jewish family. The other family is equally prominent but has ties to the KKK and neo-Nazi organizations. The switch is discovered when the Jewish family loses their son to cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease not found in their family. I found the characters a bit unbelievable and the plot leaned heavily on coincidence with the problem being solved ****CAUTION BIT OF A SPOILER**** by the death of one of the major players. Nevertheless there was something about the writing that kept me turning the pages. There was a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. Not a bad beach or staying-in-bed-under-the-covers chick lit read. 3 stars. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The doctor's office is cool, white, sterile. But the doctor's words are searing: blood tests prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Margaret and Arthur Crawfield's beloved, dying son is not their child. Now they must face Peter's death and the shock of having a son they have never met. Grieving, yet compelled, they begin a search that will tear two families apart. Laura and "Bud" Rice share an elegant home and two children, brilliant, handsome Tom, and cherished, chronically ill eleven-year-old Timmy. But after nineteen years of marriage, Laura's respectable husband is a stranger--and the reason for Tom's escalating involvement with a group of campus bigots. Suddenly the Crawfields enter their lives and shatter their fragile world. As the Rices' quiet Southern town explodes with hate and violence, the two familes must embrace--or be destroyed by--the shattering truth. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
