He gets her a room in a cheap, downtown hotel and drives her the next day to the county adoption office and to an old address of her brother's when he was adopted as a small boy. At that house, the residents are new and know nothing, but a boy on a swing triggers a childhood memory in James. Is a miracle of reunion and connection at hand in the City of the Angels? Written by
