Product Description

His mother deserted him as an infant. His wealthy, disinterested father raised him at arm's length in an emotional vacuum with only Stella, his house manager, desperately trying to inject some magic into his life. As a young adult, Ethan McBride has to learn about love, commitment, and trust as he stumbles into one of the greatest tragedies of his life. He learns that some questions have no answers and life sometimes demands the unbearable, but with perseverance and the love of a loyal confidant, anything is possible-even sleigh bells on the beach in the middle of September.

Luckily there is still time to mend a Father- son relationship and when his mother tries to regain entry to his life - Ethan surprises us all!
I LOVED Righteous Indignation and had a hard time getting to read this without feeling as though I was betraying THAT main man!
Can't wait for the third!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Emotional Sleigh Ride!, September 18, 2003

By	Melly Lindsey (Franklin Park, IL) - See all my reviews

Ethan McBride might be the tragic hero of this novel, but he handles it beautifully. His pseudo-orphaned lifestyle up until the point of the story has created quite a character out of him, a heart-breaker and a talented individual, yet modest and even quite humble. He may be rich, but he proves to us all that money cannot buy happiness, and though he grew up in posh and comfortable surroundings, he was someone I could identify with from the beginning. Virginia Foley hits another home run with this novel, another tear-jerker and powerful book. Buy it today!
