This was a new author for me. I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes you just have to think outside the "BOX"! It’s an absorbing story involving an adoptive parent’s worst nightmare. Jack McGuane, an employee of Denver’s convention and visitor’s bureau, and his wife suddenly discover that Garrett Morland, the birth father of their nine-month-old daughter, Angelina, didn’t sign away his parental rights. Garrett and his powerful father, a sitting federal judge, give the McGuanes three weeks to return Angelina. In this bleak scenario, Box builds perfect characterizations especially that of McGuane, who grew up with uneducated but hard-working parents on a series of Montana ranches. His wife will do anything to save their daughter. She agrees to do many things unknown to her moral character to save Angelina. The story follows numerous interesting and nasty twists and turns to the climax of good versus evil. The author reveals that whatever the cost, such truth exists, and ordinary folks have the strength to find it. It is a fast, "cannot put it down" read.
