Book Review of The Great Divide

The Great Divide

Other legal thrillers have kept me on the edge of my seat. None have given me hope and ripped it away and then renewed it again, as this one did. Although wrapped around a legal framework, this book covers the more extensive territory of loss and justice. This is about what is right, what is important, and what price must be paid to see justice done. The losses suffered by some of the characters are deep and irrevocable. It is clear from the beginning that legal victory is too shallow to compensate for that loss.

The title phrase "The Great Divide" could be interpreted many ways in this book, each of them significant. The one most meaningful for me was the point of turning from despair of loss to hope for the future. And even hope has a price.
