A house divided, book #88

Finally!  A new Robert Whitlow book!  If you have been reading here long you know he is one of my VERY FAVORITE AUTHORS OF ALL TIME!!! When I saw the picture and ad for this in the new LifeWay sale catalog I sent my hubs a message and asked him nicely to drop everything at work and run to the LifeWay store right there and get it right away!  He was at first skeptical about why on earth we needed more books, but I calmly explained to him the importance of buying Robert Whitlow books because, well, because I love them!!!

Unfortunately I was busy reading other books and did not have time to start it that night, but when I did finally get started it did not disappoint.  This one seemed to be a little "legal" heavy (remember the problem I had with the last Harry Kraus book? Same here ... ) but once I kept reading and kept looking up words I didn't understand it all starting making sense.  I absolutely loved how it ended, when the book started I would have never imagined it ending like it did.

If you like legal books, little lawyer takes on big company, and family forgiveness, then this will be a new favorite of yours also.

Corbin Gage can stand up to anyone . . . But his own divided house will bring him to his knees.  Corbin, a longtime legal champion for the downtrodden, is slowly drinking himself into the grave. His love for “mountain water” has cost him his marriage to the godliest woman he knows, ruined his relationship with his daughter, Roxy, and reduced the business at his small Georgia law firm to a level where he can barely keep the bill collectors at bay. But it isn’t until his son, Ray, threatens to limit Corbin’s time with his grandson that Corbin begins to acknowledge he might have a problem.  Despite the mess that surrounds his personal life and against the advice of everyone he knows, Corbin takes on a high-stakes tort case on behalf of two boys who have contracted non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma due to an alleged chemical exposure. The defendant, a fertilizer company, is the largest employer in the area. The lawsuit becomes a tornado that sucks Corbin, Ray, and Roxy into an increasingly deadly vortex. Equally intense pressure within the family threatens to destroy, once and for all, the thin threads that connect them.  Corbin must find the strength to stand up to his personal demons. Justice for two dying boys depends on it . . . his family depends on it. (picture and description from amazon)

Happy Reading!
