It's a perfect life really, that Hannah Ryan has, with two beautiful teenage daughters ( Alicia and Jenny) and her husband, Tom, a successful doctor. But the perfect life Hannah once had, soon turns to just the opposite. On the way home from their annual father-daughter camping trip, life takes a twist when a drunkard hits the car taking both her husband's and older daughter, Alicia's, life. Hannah, torn by grief and rage, tries to get revenge by suing the man responsible for this, Brian Wesley, for first degree murder, the first ever in California. But in the process, Hannah's relationship grows askew with Jenny, who too is struggling. With help from friends like her lawyer Matt Bronzan, she must learn what Tom knew to be the hardest thing for her: forgive.

I found the beginning to be really sad as the author described the car crash. I really enjoyed how the author used more than one point of view to tell the story, so you get to see all the sides of the story including Brian Wesley(the drunkard), Jenny, Hannah, Matt Bronzan(lawyer), the policeman who talked to Tom in the last moments of his life, and even Tom at the beginning. One more point I would like to make is that even though this book is meant for adults, its perfectly enjoyable for teens too.
