This book is about an abortion case. If that is a touchy subject for you, don't read the book. Especially if you are pro-life.

I heard Patterson speak as the keynote speaker at the National Abortion Federation meeting a few years ago soon after this book was published and got a signed and dedicated copy as I was an active abortion provider at that time. This book is a really good dissection of the hypocracy of some of the real anti-abortion fanatics and the problems they cause, especially for their own family members. It is a really good novel, too.
