Can I Trust You With My Heart?
On a Saturday night in March,
1992, A.J. Simon disappears without a clue left behind as to his whereabouts or
fate. Rick Simon spends months
searching for his brother to no avail.
Eight long months after A.J. vanished, Rick finally comes to the
heartbreaking conclusion that he and his mother have no choice but to assume
the youngest Simon is dead, a tragic victim of foul play. But then, during the early morning hours in
January of 1993, Rick has a visitor who brings him unexpected news, and his
first solid lead regarding what happened to his brother. This lead will send Rick on a
suspense-filled quest in search of A.J. that winds him through a well-to-do La
Jolla neighborhood, a sumptuous estate in the Mexican desert, and finally to
the dismal streets the homeless dwell on in San Francisco.
Eventually,
through Rick’s never-ending efforts, and with some unorthodox assistance from a
nurse named Dominique Cascia, the Simon brothers are reunited again. But can A.J. overcome the many tortures
inflicted upon him while being held captive for six months by a vengeful
man? Can he acclimate himself to his
old life after living on the streets for five months as a homeless man named
Jack? And what is it A.J.’s so afraid
of that cripples his ability to talk to his brother and Abigail Marsh in
regards to all that happened to him?
What is it that’s making A.J.’s family fear he’ll someday disappear
again on his volition?
