Chris Fabry writes an excellent novel about Truman Wiley and his struggle to be the husband and father his family needs. As a journalist, Truman has traveled extensively and interviewed many news worthy subjects. As a father and husband he has failed his family by gambling away their resources and abandoning them. When he is at his lowest point in his career and his son is dying in the hospital, Tru is offered the opportunity of writing a book about a convicted murderer on death row. This convict, Terrell, has agreed to donate his heart to Tru’s son. As Truman investigates the murder in order to write the book, he begins to uncover evidence which leads him to question Terrell’s conviction. These questions carry him into danger personally and professionally. His decisions may cost either his son’s or Terrell’s life.
I have read a couple of Mr. Fabry’s novels and enjoyed them. This one was no exception. I appreciate his writing style and humor. The characters are well-fleshed out. The plot and Truman’s struggles kept me reading. Even though I was disgusted at Truman’s choices during some of the story, I came to appreciate him for his humanity. I give Mr. Fabry kudos for his treatment of sin and sinners in a way that shows sin for what it is and yet makes readers able to identify with the sinners. I devoured this book in less than three days and highly recommend it. The publisher provided me with this free book and this is my honest review. This book is scheduled for publication in April.
