Wk #5 Homework

Don’t assume by the title that Linda Howard's Sarah’s Child bears any resemblance to the biblical history of Abraham and Sarah. It’s a love story with a twist.

Grieving the tragic death of his wife—Diane, and their two sons, Rome seeks comfort down questionable avenues.

Sarah--Diane's best friend, see Rome's suffering. But, a well kept secret forces Sarah to keep her distance.

At Rome's persistence, Sarah becomes his new wife by means of a non-traditional pre-nuptial.

With patience Sara executes Rome’s stipulations. Then an unexpected breach in agreement drives a wedge between them—deeper than the existing one.

This clumsy union will have you sympathizing with, and crucifying each character.

The title “Sarah’s Child” caught my eye while tagging along with my husband at the ACO Hardware. Boring! Engrossed with his man toys, I departed on my own excursion.

Not expecting to find much in a hardware store, shockingly, I found a hardback treasure wrapped in a lavender book cover that bannered “Linda Howard’s” name in big blue print above the title, “Sarah’s Child”.

Three things had me regretting my $2 purchase: one, “Linda Howard”--never read her before. And two, “Sarah’s Child”--I also thought, “Abraham and Sarah”. Then third, the inside cover seem to readily expose the story line.

However, Linda Howards’ use of words paints Sarah's heartfelt emotions causing you to vent, take revenge, analyze past actions and hopefully bring resolve to your present.

For the married, unmarried, or about to be married, “Sarah’s Child” is an eye opening good read. A woman's treasure--a keeper!
