This book is awesome beyond belief! This story is so well written and the defense so entwined that it is going to be hard to review this book without spilling the beans.Anyone who knows anything about race hate by living it, reading about it, doing it, or seeing it done, knows this book to be right on target. In this story a man is accused of setting an explosion in a church that ends up killing the Pastors daughter, a 12 year old girl, and harming the Pastor. He, Brian Stone, is arrested and spends time in jail before his trial.  Judge asks Jasyn Cook, a Black lawyer, to represent Brian. Jasyn is not so keen on doing this and does try to get out of it. The Judge speaks to Jasyn and gets Jasyn to agree. Jasyn, a man or honor, vows to give Brian the best defense possible.Throughout much of this story the Pastor, also a Black man, organizes protest groups to protest Jasyn's defending Brian. Members of this protest group even call Jasyn an Uncle Tom Now I am not even going to spill if Brian is guilty or innocent. What I will pose is The Pastor has placed himself on the same level he believes Brian is.  The Pastor has let forgiveness and compassion go right out the window. I do understand he lost his daughter, but I would expect more from a man of the cloth. I think the way the author has written this Pastor is really good.I think this story is well written, easy to follow and understand, and you will not want to put it down. The characters are well written and you can relate to them easy.I do recommend this book very much. I would recommend it for age 16 on up. There is nothing in this book that you couldn't easily get from Law and Order on television.I warn you though, allow enough time to read it as you won't want to put it down.
