After struggling to conceive, Jack and his wife Melissa are thrilled with their adopted baby girl. Just as they are a family, the baby's birth father comes forward and wants to take their daughter back. Jack and Melissa are determined to keep their family together, but the law is not on their side since the birth father's father is an influential judge.

When they learn of the birth father's gang associations and suspect that he is vandalizing their property, Jack and Melissa turn to their friends for the kind of help that the legal system will not give them.

Three Weeks to Say GOodbye is a suspenseful thriller, with many Harlan Coben-like plot twists. It is also very violent, and the actions of some of the good guys (let alone the bad guys!) will make your stomach churn. However, Box does such a good job of engrossing the reader in Jack and Melissa's family that he or she will keep reading anyway. Highly recommended for those who enjoy gritty thrillers with just the right amount of humanity.
