Synopsis
God asked the biblical Abraham to sacrifice his son. But Abraham Martin's only god is money.
Successful media mogul Abraham Martin has great wealth, an elegant wife, Saralyn, and a rebellious son, Isaac. He also has a secret: a second family that no one knows about. Now, after thirty years—driven by the urging of his long dormant conscience—Abraham is determined to do the right thing by finally bringing his illegitimate children into the light...and into the family fold.
But beautiful, manipulative Saralyn will never accept the proof of her husband's indiscretions. Isaac, the heir, shaken by his father's revelations, will fight mercilessly when his world is threatened, and may lose everything that matters as a result. And while Abraham's forgotten daughter, Deborah, is open to the undreamed-of possibilities suddenly awaiting her, his son, Michael, cannot forgive the man who cruelly abandoned them to near poverty. And he's driven by only one desire: revenge!
Angela Benson's Sins of the Father is a powerful story of a house bitterly divided—a rich, multilayered family saga of betrayal and redemption, rage and compassion, faith, forgiveness, and ultimately, of love.

November 17, 2009: Sins Of The Father is absolutely riveting. This compelling novel is powerful and engaging from beginning to end. It is a story of redemption that depicts how secrets destroy trust and devastate lives."
"Abraham Martin is a wealthy man who has made his fortune as a media mogul. After leading a highly successful life he decides to reveal a secret that ultimately shatters his marriage to his socialite wife, Saralyn and strains his relationship with their son Isaac.""For thirty years, Abraham chose to hide the fact that he has two other children with Leah Thomas, a woman from his past. His conscious gets the best of him and he decides to do what is right. He now wants His daughter Deborah and his other son, Michael to come aboard and work at the family business."Deborah is somewhat hopeful for the opportunity to establish a relationship with her father. However, Michael holds contempt for the man who abandoned them and is out for revenge at any cost.""Abraham suffers a health crisis and this challenges the family to make some difficult choices. They must decide what is more important, the sins of a father or that a father acknowledges his mistake and tries to make amends before it is too late.Angela Benson has done it again!by blissfulG

September 22, 2009: This was a wonderful story to me. The characters reminds you of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar in the Bible as far as their children birth rights. Angela did a great job with all the characters. The plot was excellent. I believe this is a good book club read.
