5 Big Stars
for DADDY'S MONEY by Alan Chin
Sayen Homet
is a young Muslim man, working his way through Stanford Medical School as best
he can. His mother already sacrificed considerably to get him to America, and
could not help him pay for school, so Sayen found another way: hooking up with
an older man, his secret Sugar Daddy.
When Sayen
meets Campbell Reardon, another med student with whom he feels an instant - and
lustful - connection. Campbell is also rich, and is more than willing to support
Sayen financially, so he ends his arrangement with the older man. As the young
couple continues to date, Sayen is brought to meet Campbell's parents, and
learns that his former "Sugar Daddy" is Campbell's father!
One would
think the story ends there, but that's really just the start of the action, as
various emotions, prejudices and grudges surface on the part of the young
couple, Campbell's father (who is still in love with Sayen himself), Campbell's
mother (who doesn't sit well with the news of her husband's affair), and sister
Halle (who is pregnant with her Muslim boyfriend's baby.) It's a roller coaster
ride, well-written and engaging in the hands of one of my favorite authors.
Don't miss it! Five stars out of five.
