The main character in this story is a lawyer working for an organisation supporting women experiencing domestic abuse. Her dedication is shaken when a woman she has been helping dies.
[Trigger
Warning: Domestic Violence]
[Spoiler alert]
The plot follows her relationship with the brother of one of the women she was working with who inexplicably shot her children and killed herself just as she was about to flee her abusive marriage. The two work together to prove her innocence and ensure her husband accounts for his crime and the remaining daughter is safe.
The author is a Christian and the book is published explicitly as a Christian book. The characters therefore have thoughts and take actions which are in-line with these beliefs.
The author has experience of domestic abuse through her work as a lawyer, working some of the time with an organisation supporting people experiencing abuse. The abuse includes financial/economic abuse, stalking, extreme control of the wife and daughters and ultimately murder.
The romantic
relationship between the lawyer and the brother of her client would be
unethical and undermines belief in the plot itself.
