She specializes in counseling victims of lightning strikes after a strike kills her husband and traumatizes her son. A hung jury releases him but the press has convicted him. He wants to get his memory back because he wants to know what happened and the state is ready to proceed with a second trial. The book jumps among several show more stories involving family of the victim, the lawyers and some unsavory characters. I just thought it was too predictable especially throwing in the traumatized kid with the lightning connection. OK, but not great. show less

I enjoyed three of these four holiday stories. 1) Peter wants to buy veterinarian Andi's property. 2) Meghan finds abandoned baby in her store and also Peter. 3) In 1400, Jessa flees marriage landing at Murdoch's castle - didn't finish. 4) Phoebe is trapped in elevator with Santa Jeff on eve of her wedding - my favorite.
