Product Description

Sara Calhoun has a perfectly orchestrated life. Until she opens her door one morning to come face-to-face with Ryan, the son she'd loved--and given up for adoption twenty-one years ago. Sara's memory of the night Ryan was conceived is virtually nonexistent, but the aftermath continues to haunt her. Three men went to jail after that night, but were they guilty? And which one is her son's father?

Ryan, now a police officer, believes the case is rife with inconsistencies, but the only man who can help them uncover the truth is Mark Dalton--one of the accused. Still, Sara can't believe she feels so--secure with Mark. He's an enigma and her worst nightmare, isn't he?

Or maybe not--

4.0 out of 5 stars delightful contemporary, July 5, 2007

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Over two decades ago in Maricopa, Ohio unmarried teenager Sara Lindsay got drunk at a party. While intoxicated, she apparently participated in group sex. Nine months later she gave birth to a boy whom she gave up for adoption.

Now that child, Westerville police officer Ryan Mercedes, visits married Sara Calhoun with the claim that he believes the incident covered up a murder. They look up registered sex offender Mark Dalton, who went to prison along with two other men for statutory rape, a crime he does not remember doing as he too was drunk at the time. Over the objection of her cheating spouse, the trio decides the time is right to learn what really happened at that notorious party over twenty-one years ago.

The cast including adoptive parents Glen and Harriet who help makes this a fascinating tale from the opening scene when Ryan visits Sara and tells her he is her son and never slows down until the DNA test proves who sired the child. Although the murder suspicion and subsequent investigation seems a stretch at first as a way to exonerate Mark, fans will appreciate how Tara Taylor Quinn makes it seem plausible. Filled with angst, a strong cast, suspense and second chances, SARA'S SON is a delightful contemporary.
