Attorney Emilie Wesley has dedicated her career to helping women escape abusive relationships, but her faith in the justice system is shaken when her client Kaylene Adams dies in a shooting that leaves one daughter dead and another critically injured. Although authorities believe Kaylene attacked her children, Emilie is convinced the devoted mother was innocent. When Kaylene's brother, Reid Billings, discovers a letter asking him to protect her daughters, he turns to Emilie for help in uncovering the truth and securing custody of his surviving niece. As they investigate the tragedy, Emilie must also contend with a stalker whose escalating attention threatens her own safety. This Christian legal thriller blends domestic suspense, a developing romance, and questions of faith and justice as two determined allies fight to protect a vulnerable child.
