Can Kelly convince him that heâs all the man she would ever need?

Dear Friends,
Years ago, I heard a question on Jeopardy about the most successful Disney movies of all time. It stated that they all had something to do with orphans. Well, who am I to argue with the Disney magic? Thus the Devaneys were bornâfive brothers, separated for years, thanks to a decision by desperate parents.
As each story unfolds and the brothers are reunited, more and more questions arise about why their parents allowed them to be separated. Readers have debated ever since about whether their reasons were valid or impossible to understand. As you come to know the brothers, I hope youâll share your thoughts with me, as well. Put yourselves in the parentsâ shoes and think about what you might have done under the same circumstances.
In the meantime, Iâm delighted that the emotional stories of Ryan, Sean, Michael, Patrick and Daniel are coming back into print. Iâll look forward to hearing from you.
All best,
Sherryl
Prologue
Even through the haze of pain, Michael was aware of the charged atmosphere in his San Diego hospital room. The doctors had just delivered their dire predictions for his future with the Navy SEALs. Nurse Judy, normally a fountain of inconsequential, cheery small talk, was fluffing his pillow with total concentration, carefully avoiding his gaze. Clearly everyone was waiting for his explosion of outrage, his cries of despair. Michael refused to give them the satisfactionânot just yet anyway.
