Justified grabbed me with the first sentence and held me spellbound throughout. A carefully written story of a woman navigating a minefield of past mistakes, heartache, and post traumatic stress.Sarah calls herself a monster for the crime she committed, but she seems to be the only one to see her that way. Jon, her attorney, has done everything he can think of to help her see herself the way everyone else does and to fight for her freedom but she just doesn't see anything worthy in herself to try. With Jon's quiet, loving help, Sarah finally starts to see some hard truths.I can't say anymore about the plot without giving the story away, but I can say the manner in which Ms. James deals with the psychology of abuse and PTSD is honest, respectful, and hopeful without going into too many of the harsh descriptions found in these types of books. This is Sarah's journey to find herself in the aftermath of cruelty, loss, and a crime she committed. I couldn't put this book down and I cannot wait for the next contemporary title from Danielle James. Bravo. Well done. 5 stars.
