THE BOOK FAIR

Review:

Several years after adopting her son, Will, Ellen, a journalist, receives a flyer of a missing child that looks so much like her son, it gives her pause.  Ellen determines to discover if the missing child is her son.

Ellen begins her search of the missing boy, Timothy Braverman.  She has no pictures of Will as an infant, but recent pictures of the two boys bear an uncanny resemblance.  Ellen contacts the adoption attorney, which unexpectedly, sets her on a long and complicated journey.  Ellen’s persistence leads her to the facts of the adoption, and the truth of her son’s parentage.

Ellen is a most admirable character, demanding the truth at all costs. Her commitment to Will was purely for Will, and her love for him completely unselfish.
