Dr. Fletcher gave more than just bad news to Laura Kelly, who already received a previous jolt that neither she nor her former spouse is a close enough match. He informed her that the blood tests on her aunt and second cousins prove that biologically they are not her relatives. Desperate because her eighteen-month-old son Alex needs a bone marrow transplant, Laura realizes the truth that her now deceased parents must have adopted her. She must find blood relatives rather quickly if Alex is to live.

Frantic, Laura turns to private detective Mitch Tucker, who has quite a reputation for discovering birth parents, for help. With little information from Laura's aunt, who says her parents just did not want to rock the boat, Mitch begins the seemingly impossible search, knowing that the clock ticks away for Alex. As he digs deeper, Mitch falls in love with his client and her infant, but he also realizes that Laura's adoption was shaky at best and probably illegal. Those involved in the original deal want things to remain quiet even if it means a little child must die.

FAMILY FOUND is a triumphant romantic suspense that seems timely with the ultra-extended relationships that have become more of the norm in America. The story line is fast-paced as Laura and Mitch race against an unfeeling clock with the stake being a child's life. The lead couple is a strong duet that knows that if they fail to find a source their chance for a lifetime together will end too. Bonnie K. Winn provides her audience with an invigorating tale that will leave her fans seeking more wins from her.
