Fancy Dancer by Fern MichaelsISBN:  9781420130195  asbn:1420130196Jake St. Cloud was just 17 and in a few weeks is leaving for college. He held his mother's hand as she lay dying in the hospital, his father nowhere around. Selena had told him he had a brother or sister, she was never able to track them down.He's got to make things right, and he promised he would.The story picks up 18 years later, when he's 35.He finally meets with the lawyers, the papers are turned over to him, he slugs his dad for the info about his sister/brother and gives it to him. A bit later he's at his brothers house and they get to talk. Things change all around on him as he was speeding down a road and hit a white van with a woman and 3 kids in the back.He is sent to live and help out at the Dancer Foundation-mother and child were both prominent dancers but their careers ended but not their lifes. He has many other stipulations and parole also, his new brother, Alex is the PO.Angela and Fancy, handicapped mother and daughter team, ran the foundation.Although not a lot of characters in the book it's easy to follow Jacob and what trouble he can find himself in next. Quite the adventures.Very interesting to see what Alex and his mom want to spend their money on-from Selena.Jonah, Jakes dad is into blackmailing judges and he has the information to pull it off. He needs Jake at the oil rig platform to stop the oil spill-he has the knowledge to do it.Love how the father and sons are the complete opposite of one another.Love how uptodate this book is about the BP oil spill and how it reflects on this one and how neither brother can tell the twins apart.Secrets Jake's dad tells him have to be all lies, what else does he want out of him now?Great story so far and the crises is over but wait we're only half way through the book. Love the twists and turns cuz you do NOT have it figured out yet.Tuesday's Child and other books are also excerpted at the end..Love that this book is not totally about a woman. Glad to see more of this type.
