New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels--one of the most beloved authors of our time--comes a gripping new novel filled with heart and hope, as a young woman wrongly found guilty of murder receives the gift of a second chance. . .
On the eve of her retirement, Georgia attorney Mikala Aulani is as vivacious and vibrant as ever, eagerly anticipating a happy future with her partner, Ben. But if Kala has learned anything in thirty-five years of practicing law, it's that the truth can always surprise you. And when Adam Star turns up at her office, confessing to the long-ago murder of his wife, Kala must return to a notorious case that has never stopped haunting her.
Ten years have passed since young nurse Sophie Lee was accused of murdering her wealthy patient, Audrey Star. Kala defended Sophie and had no doubt of her innocence--or of Adam Star's guilt--but the prosecution convinced a jury otherwise. Sophie was convicted on a Tuesday--the day on which every significant event in her life, good or bad, seems to happen. Now, on the verge of his death, Adam exonerates Sophie and also leaves her a huge fortune in atonement.
Released from prison, Sophie retreats to Kala's house and tries to evade the media frenzy that surrounds her. Kala is determined to help her client make her way back into the world and adjust to her new wealth and freedom. Yet for both, there are still revelations in store--about the nature of redemption, the strange workings of fate, and the power of forgiveness. And most of all, about the secrets that hide in every heart--even those we think we know best. Books with free ebook downloads available Download Tuesday's Child [Kindle Edition]
Occasionally I read a book that just leaves me annoyed. This was one of those. The story line looked very promising but it was written almost as it the author didn't know what to do with it. The premise that Sophie was imprisoned although innocent and was exonerated by the victim's husband in a deathbed confession had promise. You were eager to see what she was going to do with her life now. It was never reasonably explained why the prosecuter, Spencer, was seeking her out after she was released or and what he planned to do if he found her. However, a big portion of the book was taken up with this line of thought. . . how much he hated her for ruining his political career and she hated him for robbing her of 10 years of her life, etc. Then Sophie and Spencer both had these strange and very sudden personality changes. At the end I was just puzzled. I was left feeling cheated and annoyed that I purchased this book.

Mikala Aulani is a defense attorney in the case of State of Georgia v. Sophie Lee. Sophie Lee a private nurse taking care of Audrey Star has been charged in the death of Audrey Star. Much to Mikala (Kala's) dismay the jury has found Sophie guilty and is sentence to life in prison without parole. Hatred for Ryan Spenser, the prosecutor, makes Kala's blood boil. She plans to some how bring him down.
Fast forward to ten years later; Kala is in the process of packing up her office and looking forward to retirement. Adam Star, the deceased husband of Audrey's, unexpectedly shows up at Kala's office. He drops a bomb shell on Kala and her staff. Adam claims he killed his wife and not Sophie. It is obvious to Kala that Adam is a sick man. He is dying and he wanted to make amends before he passes away. He leaves the entire Star Estate to Sophie to make up for the 10 years she spent in prison.
This is the chance Kala has been waiting for. She wants Ryan Spenser to pay for his huge mistake when he convinced jurors that Sophie was guilty of killing Audrey Star. Kala wants to ruin Ryan for taking away 10 years of Sophie's life. She is bringing him down.
Author Fern Michaels makes this book a real page turner. The characters come alive for the reader. I love the fact that she made Kala such a strong woman and a force to reckon with. This is the first book of Fern Michaels that I have read. I am looking forward to reading other books that she has written.
This book holds many twists and yes a few hidden mysteries. Just when you think you have it all figured out there is another added twist.
I wish to thank Kensington Publishing for providing me with an ARC to read and review. The opinions expressed are mine alone.
