Cutting His Leg On The Broken Glass, He Is Covered In Blood When The Police Find Him. Juanita, His Mother, Is Discovered In A Crack House Less Than Three Blocks Away, Nearly Unconscious And Half-naked. When She Comes To, She Repeatedly Asks For Her Baby Boy.

The Harvard-educated Son Of A Us Senator, Judge David Coleman Is A Scion Of Northeastern White Privilege. Desperate To Have A Child In The House Again After The Tragic Death Of His Teenage Son, David Uses His Power And Connections To Keep His New Foster Son, Anton, With Him And His Wife, Delores--actions That Will Have Devastating Consequences In The Years To Come. Following In His Adopted Family's Footsteps, Anton, Too, Rises Within The Establishment. But When He Discovers The Truth About His Life, His Birth Mother, And His Adopted Parents, This Man Of The Law Must Come To Terms With The Moral Complexities Of Crimes Committed By The People He Loves Most.--provided By Publisher.
