Jason is brought up by his other Sara in a small town in Pennsylvania away from the complications of Washington where she met his father.

Recenzje

The nature of courage, sacrifice, love and heroism are all considered in this powerful ... debut. For all its Hollywood sheen, it is as determined to educate as it is to entertain. It's a mission that Lea Carpenter executes coolly in precise and elegant prose. Daily Mail
