About this listen

A highly relevant and gripping novel that challenges us to ask what it means to forgive while seeking justice and to pursue reconciliation while loving others as ourselves.

Adisa Johnson is living her dream of practicing law with a prestigious firm in downtown Atlanta. Then a split-second mistake changes the course of her career.

Left with no other options, Adisa returns to her hometown, where, a few days earlier, a white police officer shot an unarmed black teen who is now lying comatose in the hospital.

Adisa is itching to jump into the fight as a special prosecutor but feels pulled to do what she considers unthinkable as a young black woman — defend the officer.

As the court case unfolds, everyone in the small community must confront their own prejudices. Caught in the middle, Adisa also tries to chart her way along a path complicated by her budding relationship with a charismatic young preacher who leads the local movement demanding the police officer answer for his crime.

In a small Georgia town where racial tensions run high and lives are at stake, can one lawyer stand up for justice against the tides of prejudice?

A stand-alone legal drama

The reader did not differentiate voices which was a distraction. But story is well written and has a few surprises.

Absolutes loved the story and how God can break through the demonic stronghold of prejudice, coming from South Africa that is very relevant from both sides and all the people stuck in the middle

What a fantastic book

Not being an avid book reader and scheduled to be on the road, I was blessed to have chosen this book for my first audio book. Thanks Santa for the recommendation.

Great book! However I was shaking my head at end of this, because the main character, Adisa, wasn’t held accountable for her own prejudices and prejudgments. While every other character definitely was.

Overall a very good read, enjoyed the book the entire time until my disillusionment at the end.

Good Book - Disappointed with one aspect

This was a great book! My wife discovered Robert Whitlow years ago and we have enjoyed his story telling ever since.
This is the best book I've listened to recently! The Lord is not hidden in this novel as in too many Christian novels. His presence in the every day lives of the characters is true to life.

Also the racial attitudes and prejudices of the characters are frustratingly real and deep rooted. These are not racists, but just ordinary people seeking the truth about the events which open the book.

It so captured my heart that I listened every time I got a chance! Better than tv!

Great and very relevant book

I have very mixed emotions early on as did most of the characters in this book. This one contains mystery, drama, race relations, romance and faith. The ending was very good and quite a surprise.

Another good one by Whitlow
