When one has a child, a looming question is always "what
might go wrong?" Having a child through adoption is no
different. In the case of Melissa and Jack, one of the
worst situations has happened: the birth father wants baby
Angelina back. When the machinations of a high-profile
judge aim to obtain his miscreant son's daughter, there is
nowhere to turn. Lawyers, former friends, business
associates, the police, even the mayor, seem to take the
stance that the couple should roll over and find another
child. Jack and Melissa have three weeks to try to keep
Angelina, all the while knowing that they are prolonging
their goodbyes.
C.J. Box's riveting page-turner THREE WEEKS TO SAY
GOODBYE is a well-written and satisfying journey into
rollercoaster emotions and gripping suspense. Action whips
off of the pages and the words blur as the reader is
compelled to race through to the last page of this
masterful book. As well as an excellent story, THREE WEEKS
TO SAY GOODBYE forces one to ask the question "what if this
were happening to me?" and speculate on potential avenues
of help and comfort.
Jack and Melissa McGuane have spent years trying to have a
baby. Finally their dream has come true with the adoption
of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after
bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call
from the adoption agency: Angelina’s birth father, a
teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he
wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver
judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will
use every advantage his position of power affords him to
make sure it happens. When Jack and Melissa attempt to
handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face
with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that
there’s something sinister about both of them and that
love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions.
As Angelina’s safety hangs in the balance, Jack and
Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A
horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins
that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no
one is safe.
How far would you go to save someone
you love?
C.J. Box has once again written a bone-
chilling thriller that will keep you guessing until the
very last
page.
