Book Review of Counterfeit Son

Counterfeit Son


Stunning! While sometimes painful to read because of the twisted verbal and physical abuse that Camaron Miller lives through under the rules of his pedophile, serial-killer pop, Counterfeit Son is a story with a big heart. It is a story of nature verse nurture. It is a story that explores the boundaries of love.
When Pop is killed by police 14-year old Camaron makes the daring decision to take on the identity of one of Pop's victims. He hopes he can fool that family just long enough to reach age 18 and be on his own. He didn't pause to consider a hard-edged policeman that doesn't believe him, medical tests that could challenge his claim, or the pain he might inflict on a family losing their son twice. ~Angie Lund
