This is not one of the usual mystery/legal mystery/thriller books at all, but it has its own charm. The protagonist, Tammy Lynn Taylor, is a devout Southern Christian who belongs to a religious sect that requires their children to be homeschooled, and whose parents inform her every personal decision through praryer. She is old enough to be in college, and it was decided that her career path would be in law. The summer before her third year of law school, she applies for several clerk positions in various law firms in Georgia, and one several hours away from her home sends their request for her to work as a paid intern. After much prayer, her family agrees that she should go to gain legal experience and because they think it is a divine appointment. There, "Tami" (as she goes by because it appears more professional), learns a lot, not just about the law, but about how the strength of her personal convictions can assist her in the most harrowing of circumstances. As I said, not a book that I would normally read, considering its religious slant, but one that I quite enjoyed despite it being just a little preachy in some areas. ( ) Interesting main character but I found some inconsistencies in her character - she reminded me of one the Dugger children but with higher education and made difficult choices and yet she would become whiny and emotional over nothing. The mystery didn't really grab me either and I couldn't understand what would make her risk her future career for it. The two guys as possible love interests were inconsistent too - I think the author was trying to make them less predictable but they didn't make any sense. I have the rest of the series so I'll probably finish it but I've enjoyed other books by Robert Whitlow more. I read this book when spending time in Savannah and Tybee island. Because I am a native Georgian, I could picture the locations and because I was brought up in and around very strict fundamentalist churches, I could identify with her strict upbringing on many levels. The author does an outstanding job of writing about her religious faith and the settings. I look forward to reading the second and third books in this series. no reviews | add a review
