In a little Georgia town where racial tensions run high and lives are in stake, can one lawyer stand up for justice against the tide of prejudice on every part? Adisa Johnson, a African American law firm, is living her imagine practicing legislation with a prestigious organization in downtown Atlanta. Then a split-second miscalculation changes the span of her career. Left without other available choices, Adisa dividends to her hometown, where, a couple of days before, a white officer shot an unarmed black teen who's now lying down comatose in a healthcare facility. Adisa is scratching to jump into the fight as a special prosecutor but feels drawn to do what she considers unthinkable - defend the officer. As the court case unfolds, everyone in the tiny community must confront their own prejudices. Trapped in the middle, Adisa also attempts to chart her way along a path complicated by her budding relationship with a charismatic young preacher who leads the local movement demanding the authorities officer answer for his criminal offense. This highly relevant and gripping book challenges us to ask what this means to forgive while seeking justice, to follow reconciliation while caring others as ourselves.
