Vowing to right the wrong done her, she offers the defendant her help to prove the woman's innocence. Claire only has two problems. She is beginning to believe that the woman she is trying to help is truly guilty. And, God help us, Claire's mother-in-law, whom she has never met, is coming for a visit!! Maybe prison wouldn't be too bad after all. Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.
