Took me several chapters to get involved in the storyline. “Sketch”
is a non-verbal abused kid who ends up in hospital where he is met by
Chase Walker a reporter who also happens to be a foster child.
Chase's challenge is to get through to this child and establish his
identity. Sketch communicates by drawing, a skill he has mastered
magnificently at his young age.
The story is narrated by Chase who in telling Sketch's story relates
his own parallel history as an orphan. Side-issues are the rivalry
between brothers for a rich inheritance, the mystery of a triple
murder, and a fortune in disappeared bearer bonds.
In the end this story seems overly contrived and stretches belief but
its heart is in the right place.
