Journal Entry 1 by SabinaLorenz from Wien Bezirk 19 - Döbling, Wien Austria on Monday, September 2, 2013
At age eighty-two and in failing health, Olivia Morrow knows she has little time left. The last of her line, she faces a mpomentous choice: expose a long-held family secret, or take it with her to her grave.
Olivia has in her possession letters from her deceased cousin Catherine, a nun, now being considered for beatification by the Catholic Church - the final step before sainthood. The letters Olivia holds are the evidence that Catherine gave birth at age seventeen to a child, a son, and gave him up for adoption. Olivia knows the identity of the young man who fathered Catherine's child, Alex Gannon, who went on to become a world-famous doctor, scientist and inventor of medical patents.
Now, two generations later, thirty-one year old pediatrician, Dr. Monica Farrell, Catherine's granddaughter, stands as the rightful heir to what remains of the family fortune. But in telling Monica who she really is, Olivia would have to betray Catherine's wishes and reveal the story behind Monica's ancestry.
The Gannon fortune is being squandered by Alex' nephews Greg and Peter Gannon, and other board members of The Gannon Foundation, who camouflage their profligate lifestyles with philanthropy. The only people aware of Olivia's impeding choice are those exploiting the Gannon inheritance. To silence Olivia and prevent Monica from learning the secret, some of them will stop at nothing - even murder.

A very good and nicely told story, in which the beginning is not too complicated but still the reader gets the impression, that the issue will never be resolved. Of course in the end the good will triumph and the bad ones are punished, but how to get there is interesting to follow...
