Trail Of Secrets

Plot

Ellie Nightingale was a struggling unwed teenager when her baby daughter was kidnapped. Nearly twenty-five years later, Ellie, now married and a respected psychologist, remains haunted by her loss. Unable to conceive another child, she is desperately trying to adopt - an obsession that is destroying her marriage to Paul, a neonatologist for whom each day is a battle to keep his tiny infant patients alive. Former equestrienne Kate Sutton, left crippled by the riding accident that cost her the baby she was carrying, knows the truth about Ellie's child - a dark secret she guards jealously, because to reveal it not only would risk her husband's devotion, but tear from her arms the adopted daughter she loves as her own. Skyler Sutton is a young champion for whom no hurdle is ever too high - until she's challenged by her seemingly impossible love for Tony Salvatore, a tough-talking New York City mounted policeman. Pregnant with Tony's child, she makes the most heart-wrenching decision of her life: to give up their baby for adoption. And Tony knows a woman therapist who wants a baby more than anything ... a desire that ultimately leads to an explosive courtroom climax in which fate is brought full circle.
