Twin boys grow up in the same family, in the same town. Drastically different, they become bitter opponents, even as children: one good, one bad. One leaves his peaceful hometown, but when all else fails, the prodigal boy returns two decades later. The reunion of brothers, special and healing initially, exposes shattering revelations of good and bad. Number-one New York Times bestselling publisher Danielle Steel explains to a brilliant, suspenseful history of suspicion, betrayal, and a life-and-death struggle for success. Which twin is good, and which is bad as the dining tables turn again and again? PRODIGAL Child In a matter of times, Peter McDowell manages to lose everything he has worked so hard for - his riches, his property, his livelihood as a celebrity investment banker. And then it gets worse. The stock market crash not only plunges Peter into joblessness, it causes a rift in his relationship that he cannot repair. Stripped of everything, he has only 1 place to retreat to: a lakeside cottage he inherited from his parents, who still left most of their modest property to Peter's twin. With no other choice, the prodigal boy goes home. A loved small-town doctor, a dedicated family man, and a pillar of his community, Michael McDowell will serve others without respect to personal gain. Only Peter has learned how Michael manipulated their parents when the children were young, ultimately generating Peter away. Initially he dreads viewing Michael again. But to his delight, their reunion is tender and real. Only later, as Peter mulls over his past due mother's journals, does indeed the truth start to emerge, as realization and panic set in. Who's his twin? May be the façade real, or does indeed something terrifying rest beneath? Imagination or a reality too terrifying to trust? In a contest for time, Peter throws extreme care to the winds to get the fact. What he discovers will change their lives, the lives of these children, and a whole town forever.
