Book Summary
The novel is about Grayson, a single parent of a special child of ten years named Terran. It is how he manages his day to day life and his work and is second to none for his loving son, Terran. He lost his wife Hailey when Terran was born but still his love for her is compelling even after so many years. A new therapist named Hannah comes into their lives and what magic she creates is in the forthcoming chapters which keeps you engrossed throughout the reading journey.
The core essence of the novel is love but not the love between a hero and a heroine. It's the love a father has for his son (Terran), a son's love (Terran) for the father, a mother's love for her son (Grayson) who has been with him in all thick and thin, father's love for his son (Grayson) a character which portrays as a friend, philosopher and guide, a friend's love (Justin’s love for Grayson) with whom he sails through all odds of his life, Hannah's love for Terran, a special child and Saniya, Justin’s wife, her love and concern for Grayson.
The book is a complete package of true strong emotions which they have for each other. Though the readers can guess at the start itself, that the new therapist is going to be in Terran and Grayson's life in the beginning chapters, the book goes with a lot more chapters as every character in the novel respects each other's feelings.
The novel unfolds so well because the characters speak out their mind through which the readers get associated with them. Even the big tragedies of life can be turned into a gentle breeze if you have a good soul. How an assiduous charming Hannah turned the life of Terran into an exhilarating one!! If so, we need to dive into the pages of the most enchanting book My SON TERRAN to feel the positives and love which is the universal language which is evocative even at a low ebb. Words are not sufficient to describe the beauty of this book. Sure you will be fascinated with the theme, plot, setting and characterisation which is going to bloom fresh in your hearts forever. A novel of positivity and love is sure to lift up your spirits. This novel is a polished performance!!
