Blog #3--Conflict and Resolution
The major issue that was resolved in this book "The Counterfeit Son" was that Neil's identity was revealed. By the end of the book he was diagnosed with amnesia, it turns out that Cameron is the real Neil Lacey. The police officers completed the investigation and found all 23 bodies and one of them was Cameron Miller. Over the 6 years that Neil was abducted he was brain washed and with all the blows to the head he has suffered from amnesia. Near the end of this book Cougar, who was helping Hank Miller with these crimes found where Neil was hiding. He was severely beaten and demanded Neil to steal from the Lacey family because he needed money for his addiction. He obviously listened to him and for the second time when they met up, what he had wasn't good enough. He then wanted the key to the Lacey's house to see what he wants for himself, if that didn't happen he would make his little brother Stevie disappear. This was all resolved because Neil saved Stevie from Cougar, Cougar was arrested for good, the DNA test was positive and the mystery was over. All the families that have suffered for numerous years has received closure, especially the Lacey family can now continue their lives in peace.
If you knew someone who suffers from amnesia, would you believe everything they say? Would you need proof of what is being said? Or would you think everything they say was false?
