From Library Journal
Nearly 20 years ago, 18-year-old Alison Young was brutally raped and bore a child as a result. Today, Alison has a great life?a beloved teenage daughter named Destiny, a happy marriage with advertising executive Collin Archer, and a successful, challenging career as a magazine editor. Alison's fairy-tale existence shatters, however, when the man who attacked her comes back into her life. Country Davis has been in prison for the past 18 years and now has returned to claim his woman and his daughter. Posing as a music executive, he lays a clever plan to snare Destiny, a promising young singer. Alison has kept her secret locked tight, and she does not know where to turn for help. Complicating matters is the fact that Destiny, obsessed with finding out about her father, has hired a private investigator to dig into her mother's past. First novelist Saban, a TV scriptwriter and author of Miracle Child (New Horizon, 1993), carefully builds the tension as the members of this family struggle to handle the very real danger than threatens to destroy all they hold dear.

A very touching and powerful story,

This review is from: Sins of the Mother (Allison Young Thriller) (Hardcover)
Alison Young has a secret and has lived her life behind a curtain so to speak. Everyone believes they know who she is but only her and the reader knows. Becoming a mother at a young age, she finally finds heaven a wonderful husband and a career worthy of anyone person. However, something from her past comes to haunt her- not only does it haunt but it brings up feelings that she had hoped to leave behind.I am leaving things out on purpose. However this book is very heartfelt and a emotional roller coaster. Saban is able to pull the reader into her story and make her feel the very things that most would feel if this person was sitting right across from you. She talks about a very touchy, sensitive, and controversial subject but writes it so well that you are able to get through the book without putting it down. I didn't cry in this book and at times I felt the character helplessness was sometimes aggravating but then when Alison's secret is out you are saddened and understand why it took her so long to tell it. The reactions were all horrific but all REAL. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a nice fictional but supsense book.
