Fiona Maye, High Court judge, is childless and her marriage of 30 years is in crises. She is called to a trying case where Adam, 17 year old boy, is refusing for religious reasons the medical treatment that could save his life. She visits the boy in the hospital and the encounter stirs feelings of powerful emotions in both of them. I found this book to be an excellent story and would highly recommend it!

This was a very interesting book. The author thoroughly delved into the thought processes of the protagonist, Judge Fiona Maye. The story surprised me. I expected it to be something entirely different than it was. The author gives a very personal interpretation of Fiona. His depth of understanding of how this woman tninks is surprising.
