Commitments - by Barbara Delinsky (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The mother of a special needs son forms a bond with an imprisoned reporter that will transform their lives in this stunning novel from the bestselling author.

Sabrina Stone seems to have the perfect life, but her wildly successful investment banker husband chooses to ignore the seriousness of their son's brain injury and the strain it's putting on their marriage.

A reporter on a top-rated investigative journalism TV show, Derek McGill finds himself behind bars after being set up for murder. The son of a felon--and now one himself--he's sure that someone powerful pulled strings during the trial to get him convicted.

Sabrina has never forgotten the brief encounter she once had with Derek--and the compassion she felt from him. And with her life falling to pieces around her, she feels drawn to visit him in prison. The comfort they find in each other turns to an attraction they can't deny, forcing them to confront both the bitter and the joyous truths about their lives--and the danger that Derek's quest for revenge may bring down upon them . . .
