Day Break
By Belva Plain

This story is fiction.  It’s about two families who each took home the wrong baby boy from the hospital and raised them for 19 years.  It deals with sickness and death in one family and good health and hatred in the other.

The living son was influenced by the wrong people in college and by his bigoted father.  He became a radical anti-semite.  The story makes one realize how easily a young mind can be led down the wrong path in life.  It tells how the two mothers deal with the volatile situation with lots of love and patience.
