Archeologist Callie Dunbrook is thrilled to be called in on
an important find of 5,000 year old bones buried at
a Maryland development site. But Callie is in for a number
of shocks when she reaches the dig. First, the head anthropologist
is her handsome, yet annoying, ex-husband, Jake Graystone. Second,
some of the local residents don't care about some old bones, and want the
planned development to proceed. And third, the site itself seems cursed with
bad luck. A televised interview about the
plagued project brings another shocking occurrence. Suzanne
Cullen, a wealthy businesswoman, shows up on her doorstep claiming
that Callie is Suzanne's long-lost daughter, who was kidnapped
when she was just a baby. At first, Callie is resistant to Suzanne's
story, but eventually begins to dig into her own past. But the more
she investigates, the clearer it becomes that someone doesn't want
the past dredged up -- and is willing to kill to keep it quiet.
Birthright is an exciting and suspenseful tale which addresses the themes of love, loss and the power that the past can have in our lives. Ms. Roberts provides a powerful main storyline, which is greatly enhanced by a romantic subplot involving Callie's attorney who is dating her long-lost brother. Nora Roberts is one of the most reliable authors around; you can always count on one of her books to be entertaining, with emotional resonance that will stay with you after you finish reading.
