| Plot Summary of The Divided Child |
|---|
"All Christine Stewart wants is a relaxing vacation on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu. Then she meets nine-year-old Michael Redfield and saves him from being crushed by a falling piece of Byzantine stone.
Invited to spend the rest of her holiday at the luxurious villa where Michael is staying with his family, Christine soon discovers that something is wrong with the Redfield clan. Michael's stepmother is openly hostile, her brother is charmingly seductive, and Michael's handsome uncle seems obsessed with the recent death of his brother, Michael's father.
Christine has no desire to become even more deeply embroiled in the family's problems, but how can she abandon Michael when she learns he is the pawn in a nasty custody battle...and the target of a killer?"
Ekaterine Nikas, Resident Scholar
