About this title

Synopsis

Deborah and Chris Latham have everything they could possibly want: a warm, loving marriage, a beautiful daughter, and a stable life in a sweet resort community on Long Island. When they hear about a small Romanian boy who is languishing in a depressed Eastern European orphanage, neither Deborah nor Chris hesitates for an instant. They want Mihai for their own, and they know they can help him. If any family has enough love to spare, it is the Lathams.
In a matter of months, Mihai becomes Michael Latham. Deborah, Chris and their three-year-old daughter, Caroline, take him in eagerly, knowing that soon enough he will truly feel like a member for the family. But as time passes, Michael grows more unpredictable, careening between violent behavior and emotional withdrawal.

Store Description

Thank you for shopping with PJK Books and Such. Our collection mainly consists of books from the John Steele Bookshop on the Litchfield Green, in Litchfield, Connecticut. We bought their inventory over 15 years ago, and we still have 11 tons to catalog. Please check back with us often as we continue to open new (to us) inventory daily. Also, feel free to let us know if there is anything you are looking for - we won't contact you unless we find it. Our collection consists of "a little bit of everything", fiction, poetry, art - and (obviously) many books about New England. We have signed, first edition books, and many books that have seen better days, but we love them and they are scarce. Additional information and pictures are happily provided upon request.
