She decides to spend Christmas in New York City and takes her son. Laddie, Christmas shopping one night. As she is standing on a street corner, someone passes by her, sprays ammonia in her eyes, and steals Laddie from her. Susannah soon finds out that the police are sympathetic, but for the most part unable to help her. She then turns to the press and in particular to a woman reporter who shows more than a professional interest in the case. Susannahs search for Laddie and the background of some of the more seamier sides of New York, form the basis for this taut, gritty book.

In drama he learned to communicate, to overcome early childhood shyness. It helped him work with the youngsters. Coach- ing has helped him direct, and get the most from his actors when he is working on the stage. It still is two strange avocations. Usually actors think of jocks as huge hulks that are only capable of ripping the arms from their opponents and beating them to death with the stump. Jocks usually consider actors as a kind of pantywaist. But here is a man who seemingly has mixed the two in his life, and has been quite successful with both.
