Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Finding Bobby Ray is the story of a youngster who is abandoned by his mother, who is en route to assist his father in escaping from a notorious prison. He is discovered on the steps of a church by a miner, Dwane Benny Baird, who takes him home to his wife, Margaret. Childless, the couple immediately fall in love with the boy, and call him their own.

He also meets a woman who will teach him the subtle shades of the deepest love. His biological parent's scandalous lives lead them to the depths of chaos and depravity. His mother makes a decision to try and find her son, hoping that rediscovering.…
