Finding Ian
Author: Stella Cameron

Thirteen years ago, Byron Frazer had faced the toughest decision a parent could ever face. When his young wife, Lori, died in childbirth, Byron chose to put his newborn son, Ian, up for adoption. Recovering from the grief of both losses, Byron turned his energies to finishing school and building his career. Now, years later, Byron has become a n... more »ationally known family therapist, and Ian needs a father.

Though Byron had followed Ian's life, he had never felt the need to step in before. When Ian's adoptive parents die and he is sent to live with relatives in Cornwall, England, Byron knows he must go and see that Ian is all right. Finding Ian is fairly straightforward, but finding the right thing to do is much more difficult.

Stella Cameron's novel carefully describes a wide spectrum of family relationships, with painfully accurate depictions of the worst ones. Pride and loyalty are the strongest emotions in the Cornwall community, but there are more complex layers of emotions below that...

[Nancy R.E. O'Brien]

From Publishers Weekly

A beautiful lady housepainter, a handsome television psychologist and a sad, 13-year-old boy find love and redemption in a small village near Cornwall in Cameron's (Glass Houses, Key West) latest romantic novel. Dr. Byron Frazer is America's leading expert on family therapy. His San Francisco-based TV program has garnered the 34-year-old bachelor critical success and fame. But Frazer is hiding a secret from his overbearing agent and his fans: 13 years ago, after his young wife died in childbirth, he gave up their son for adoption. Frazer has had a private detective watching over the boy, named Ian Spring by his adoptive parents in Minnesota. When Frazer learns that the couple has died and the boy has been sent to live with his adoptive mother's sister, Muriel Cawden, in the tiny village of Boddinick, near Cornwall, England, he travels to Boddinick under the pretense of renting a house for the summer. He soon meets Jade Perron, 32, a housepainter, interior decorator and mother of five-year-old Rose. Perron and Frazer become romantically involved, but Jade has her own problems. Her father is encouraging her to return to her abusive ex-husband and to stop trying to prove she is "as good as any man." When Frazer decides to publicly stake his claim to Ian, whom he believes is being neglected by codgerish Aunt Muriel, it seems the entire village is pitted against him...

I’ve long been a fan of Stella Cameron’s – through her category romances, historical romances, and romantic suspense novels – and can truthfully say FINDING IAN is my favorite. She’s a welcome addition to the ever-growing world of contemporary women’s fiction and I certainly look forward to more stories of this type from her.

Currently 2/5 Stars.

Enjoyed the book. Well written and interesting storyline and subjects. Would recommend it as a good read for cold winter's days. Takes place in Great Britain and the characters were interesting, especially in their reaction to "yanks" as they defend their way of life in small villages.

Currently 0/5 Stars.
