Summary:
Intimate Strangers is the rich, complex and passionate story of a contested adoption and of the two women who join to save a small boy’s life. The book examines the various faces of love: erotic love and romantic love, the love of parent for child and child for parent; and what “really” makes a parent. The book’s suspenseful focus is on the child’s fate – and on the relationship between the women, law partners with widely divergent and equally traumatic histories; who battle on his behalf. The case strikes at the heart of each. Out of their own shadowy backgrounds, the women make a stunning discovery – and must decide what to do about it, and what to do about the men in their lives. This is a story of loss, of healing and redemption. And at the same time, a heartfelt plea for justice in our courts for the most helpless among us.
