Finding Family

By William Manion

Western New York 1967 Ryan Gallagher is an ESSO gas station builder, his family's problem solver, a man of secrets and surprises, and a creative disciplinarian. Along with his wife Fran, Ryan has instilled in their three sons and one daughter that the family is the most important thing in life and should always come first. The Gallagher's concept of family extends beyond just blood ties. Shortly after coping with the loss of a loved one, the close-knit Gallaghers begin heading off in different directions. One day Ryan receives a shocking letter that catapults him out of his comfort zone and into unchartered territory. He meets with the Watertown, N,Y. letter writer and finds himself deeply entangled in the lives of her family that needs help. He winds up on a journey he never bargained for in a world of corruption, criminals, frauds, and wrongdoers who have been exploiting young girls and their children. The Gallagher family unites and finds themselves in a dangerous situation as they try to track down the children and rescue the "almost twins" toddlers that they have welcomed into their family.
