About this listen

Corbin Gage can stand up to anyone. But his own divided house will bring him to his knees.

Corbin, a longtime legal champion for the downtrodden, is slowly drinking himself into the grave. His love for "mountain water" has cost him his marriage to the godliest woman he knows, ruined his relationship with his daughter, Roxy, and reduced the business at his small Georgia law firm to a level where he can barely keep the bill collectors at bay. But it isn't until his son, Ray, threatens to limit Corbin's time with his grandson that Corbin begins to acknowledge he might have a problem.

Despite the mess that surrounds his personal life, and against the advice of everyone he knows, Corbin takes on a high-stakes tort case on behalf of two boys who have contracted non-Hodgkin's lymphoma due to an alleged chemical exposure. The defendant, a fertilizer company, is the largest employer in the area. The lawsuit becomes a tornado that sucks Corbin, Ray, and Roxy into an increasingly deadly vortex. Equally intense pressure within the family threatens to destroy, once and for all, the thin threads that connect them.

Corbin must find the strength to stand up to his personal demons. Justice for two dying boys depends on it...his family depends on it.

Good Story, Terrible Performance

I bought the Whisper Sync version of this book thinking I would have time to sit and read. I didn’t which was unfortunate. I probably would have enjoyed the book had I. As it was, I gritted my teeth through the entire listening. Heath McClure gave a poor, flat, and at times monotone reading of A House Divided. I’ll skip books with his byline from now on. I tried to be generous with the overall rating considering the author’s engaging plot and character development. However, since this is a review for an audiobook, I must consider the reader’s contribution and recommend the print version.

Great read.

Another excellent story by Whitlow. Blaming others is an easy out. While facing ourselves & still loving is harder still. All this twisted into a civil case. I'm still not sure but suspect the job loss as part of the conspiracy.

Great reading material

It’s hard to believe that there are people who would do as Rena did, but I know they are there. I love the verse in the Bible that says “be sure your sins will find you out”. No matter your sin, the mind will torture you until you can’t stand it any longer.

Book gets a 5 narrator a 3. Averages out to 4.

The narrator of this book definitely takes away the overall enjoyment. But the story line is good so we bear
w ith the narrator. More about a family coming to terms with dysfunction of alcohol than court. But robert whitlow puts a positive, encouraging spin on the outcome.

I feel like I've been in a church...

listening to a long winded sermon for 11 hours. Novels written to sell a religious perspective are not my thing. I made a mistake of not learning more about the author and the type of book he writes. This book is like those written by Joel C Rosenberg on steroids. I expected a good legal thriller.

And I did listen to a good legal thriller that ends as a tear jerker. I really have no complaints about the quality of the story; it is quite good! Indeed as a legal thriller it is better than Grisham's latest pathetic effort (Rogue Lawyer).

I decided not to down rate A House Divided because of its pushing of a religious point of view. Instead, I have rated it solely on the quality of the story.

Needs a Narration Redo

I enjoyed the story. I did not enjoy the narration. Sentences ran together. Scene changes were indistinguishable, making it difficult to know where I was in the story. Also, there was virtually no character separation, which also made it difficult to track with the storyline.
