“Our family was started over here, in the States because my grandfather was the Bastard Child!” Starting with just a childhood story between cousins Sara Parkerson is on a determined quest to find out more about her family’s history. Sadly her father dies before she has the chance to find many answers but it drives her even further as she must know what the story behind her great-grandmother Bessie is and who is her great-grandfather? A hopeful trip to the UK may contain the answers but what is the truth…Inspired by a true story a true life mystery as we are all intrigued by own histories. What an excellent storyline that draws the reader in wanting Sara to find the answers of her past and wanting to know more about Bessie as though she was the reader’s own ancestor. Rosen uses outstanding word descriptions to bring her characters alive that we consider Sara an old friend or we are reading her diary as she searches for her family history. The reader will be spellbound and captivated as the mystery unfolds as the reader hungrily wants to know what will happen around the next turn. With mystery, intrigue, family history, many surprises with twist and turns and even a surprise ending “The Bastard Child” is one book not to be missed!
