SynopsisSabrina Stone: elegant society wife, loving mother of a severely disabled child, tragic portrait of a woman in pain. These are the impressions she conjures for investigative reporter Derek McGill in their first meeting on the rooftop terrace of her Manhattan home. Sabrina next meets Derek in a maximum security prisonafter he is convicted of murder. When curiosity and proximity bid her visit, she finds a hardened man, yet one who retains a germ of caring for her and her son. Sustained by that, Sabrina must make decisionsand begin to fight for a wronged mans revenge.
I can see why Delinsky said this book is one of her favorites. Sabrina's child was severely retarded. She took care of him 24/7 for 3 years. Her husband was too embarressed and selfish to realize that his son was retarded. He said Sabrina was different from when he married her. She was very different but the baby was just part of it. She knew Nicholas was not interested in saving their marriage. He wanted a amicable divorce which suited Sabrina fine. Sabrina was faced with institutionalizing Nicky (son). She was worn out from caring for him and he was getting no better which meant help was needed. Sabrina had met Derek McGill who wanted to write an article on caring for Nicky , but Sabrina refused. Derek sympathized with her and could not understand how her husband could be so distant from her and his son. Derek wound up in prison for a crime that was self defense. Sabrina visited him and began to reach out to him. This is a great story and highly recommended.
