Intimate Strangers
INTIMATE STRANGERS is the rich, complex and passionate story of a contested addoption, and the two women lawyers who join to save a small boy's life. The book examines the various faces of love:ertic love and romantic love, the love of parent for child and child for parent; and what "really" makes a parent.
The book's suspenseful focus is on the child's fate -and on the relationship between the women, law partners with widely divergent and equally traumatic histories; who battle on his behalf. Out of their own shadowy backgrounds, the women make a stunning discovery - and must decide what to do about it, and what do do about the men in their lives.
This is a story of loss, of healing and redemption. And at the same time, a heartfelt plea for justice in our courts for te most helpless among us.
