      Io difendo sempre ciò che possiedo. Compresa Keira Kilgore. Lei è mia. Non mi basta più il suo corpo. È una donna orgogliosa, ma prima o poi si arrenderà. Niente ci può tenere separati. Nessuno deve mettersi fra noi. Keira pagherà il suo debito fino in fondo. Con il cuore.

      "When she became pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to a convent to be looked after as a "fallen woman." Then the nuns took her baby from her and sold him, like thousands of others, to America for adoption. Fifty years later, Philomena decided to find him. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Philomena's son was trying to find her. Renamed Michael Hess, he had become a leading lawyer in the first Bush administration, and he struggled to hide secrets that would jeopardize his career in the Republican Party and endanger his quest to find his mother. A gripping exposâe told with novelistic intrigue, Philomena pulls back the curtain on the role of the Catholic Church in forced adoptions and on the love between a mother and son who endured a lifelong separation."--
