Description:
This novel is a work of fiction. Names, characters,entities, organizations, places, events and incidents either are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. However, readings or citations of various inheritance statutes and regulations from the fifty United States, relate to existing laws and sources. Most of the statutes are defensible-for they strike a compromise that provides the possibility of protecting the posthumously conceived offspring, while also narrowing that protection in order to avoid possible administrative and substantive problems. With this novel the author calls a forum around a single question… derived by the advances in reproductive technologies and cryopreservation, and an evolving set of social norms that embraces (or at least tolerates) an amazing array of family forms.PLOT: Aeron Brennan is a posthumously conceived child, deprived of the rights to inherit his paternal house pursuant to the North Carolina intestacy statute. A 22 y/o successful banker (collateral audit), he shares a rented luxurious condo with his 44 y/o girlfriend Jena, twice his age. Having both parents gone, Aeron remains under constant attacks of his 46 y/o elder brother Benjamin Brennan. Privileged for being conceived traditionally and born during his parents' lifetime, Ben is an overcontrolling ob-gyn doctor, a representative of Jena's generation, and eventually, Jena's former fiancée. Ben remains the only heir of the paternal multi-million estate with horse farm and vineyards, until Jena reveals the dark angles of the family fights around the property, including the way Aeron was born. Without Aeron's approval, Jena risks her freedom and life, finally achieving Ben's inheriting rights be dismissed by a criminal conviction (forgery). Why she acts so, read the unpredictable turns of the novel. The events are much more than described, and include a set of legal debates, trials, cross-romances, and of course accidents that can build a starry fortune.
