Meanwhile, Eli Silver, the local pediatrician, has lost a son in an auto accident and a wife (temporarily) in the backwash of grief. And Elizabeth Bean, a college counselor, is unwillingly pregnant. So from Bean through Silver to Sorenson, there's an intricate, emotionally-fraught triple play: an adoption is arranged.
