A story that discusses the family relationship in terms of three different ways- the legal, religious and medical perspectives. We also are meant to understand that marriage is not just built on love, but also on history and need. This really seems a captivating read.

Drama in the medical, legal and religious arena meld together. The author not only knows to capture your attention but at the same time keep you guessing and wanting to know more. Luke's marriage and the other relationships in this book are diverse and shows how muxh research was done by the author on this. Well it's on my waiting to read list.

Thank you for your in-depth description of this book. I am not surprised Lucy becomes so invested in her law firm that she rarely has time to care for her daughter. I got a sense of her character within the first few pages of the book. I am curious to learn more about what happens to Luke, so I may have to read this one.

This is a well-researched story that explores various types of relationships, the bad side of televangelism, and much more...
Congrats on #BOTD!

I love mysteries but wasn't a fan of another book I read by the same author. Based on your review, maybe I'll give this one a try.

This book sounds like it involves quote a tangled web of relationships. It sounds very interesting with lots of characters and each of them having so much going on in their lives to keep the story moving.

This doesn't sound like something I would be interested in. So I will not be picking this one up, even though it's well written. Sorry.
