"Someone Else's Son" Summary
Trish and Brad Hunter are in limbo. Eighteen years after bringing their first son,
Phillip, home from the hospital, they discover that they are not his natural parents. Who are Phillip Hunter's real parents? And
who is Trish and Brad's biological son?
Someone Else's Son explores the host of questions, curiosities, family secrets, and changed relationships that have come
with the discovery that Phillip was switched at birth. As doubts abound and relationships go awry, the whole family structure
begins to shake. Every page challenges the role nurturing plays versus Nature's hidden genetic code.
Brad Hunter feels it's his fatherly duty to assist Phillip in searching for his biological parents, while Trish wants no part of
it - insisting that Phillip is their son, no matter what. The escalating conflict between husband and wife, and the unfolding of
Phillip's first love affair, both add emotional stress to Phillip's search for his biological parents.
Phillip questions could be anyone's - adopted children's, children from alternative forms of insemination or surrogate
pregnancies, or those real-life children whose identities may have been mistaken in hospital nurseries.
At one time or another, most of us have stared into a mirror, touched our lips, our noses, or checked our smiles to see if they
were similar to a parent's or sibling's. It is human nature to wonder about our origin.
Do the years spent together and the shared experiences create the parent-child bond? Or is it the genetic make-up? Which
contribution has the strongest influence on the child? The extremely well-developed search for the truth makes Someone Else's Son
an unforgettable first novel.
