web of secrets and moral dilemmas. A local ne\\\'er-do-
well
goes to jail for the crime while the boys keep their pact of
silence. Each boy shoulders the burden of truth in his own
way as each attempts to leave the past behind.Thirty-three

blackmail Van Buren in return for his silence. Van Buren
must decide between his political career and the duty of the
office he has sworn to uphold. With the clock ticking, Van

his soul while he sorts out three decades of deceit he
helped create.Favorite Sons is a wonderful, suspenseful
novel with nuanced, memorable characters and unpredictable
plot twists.
