When Charlie and Molly's son dies in an accident, their daughter-in-law remarries quickly and is vaulted into a new world of money and privilege. She is now determined to lead a new life and to keep her son free from the blue-collar influences of his grandparents. Forced to sue for their right to visit their beloved grandson, Charlie and Molly enter a world of courtroom conflict that deeply affects everyone involved, including the trial judge. Each of the players in this remarkable drama must search their souls for the right decision, not for themselves, but in the best interest of the child whom they all deeply cherish.

As always for master storyteller Warren Adler, the combat zone is the human heart, and in Twilight Child, the anguish reaches across the generations. This novel, called the most comprehensive insight into the devastating topic of Grandparents visitation rights, was published worldwide as a Reader's Digest Condensed book and delves deeply into the heart-rending dilemma of generational conflict.
