In pursuit of justice, in need of grace
. . . A justice-seeking perfectionist pursues her dream of a perfect
life in her hometown of Miller's Creek, Texas. Sidetracked by her desire
to be a prosecuting attorney,
Grace Soldano launches into uncharted waters, making herself over to
please her boss and mentor. Then a disheveled free spirit turns her
perfectly ordered world upside down, challenging the concept of personal
goodness. A fall from perfection leaves her teetering between vengeance
and grace, caught in a deadly crossfire that leaves her dreams in a
heap of ashes. Can she learn to joyfully accept the life God has given
her--far from perfect--but one completely immersed in His grace?

My Opinion:
This book I took my time reading. Really absorbing every word, the settings, the dialogues. Savoring bringing the whole of Miller's Creek together in one book. The first two books in the series, each seem to focus on a major character and their lives within the community. The third book does that too but also brings the characters from the first two back. People who have read the series will agree on how cool that is. Now, as I said, it does focus on one person at times, and in this book it was Grace. Ironic, right?! She was a lovable character in so many ways, though I wish she knew her own worth a little sooner. I hated seeing bad things happen to her, but she was one of those characters that sort-of did it to herself.
This was a great way to bring the series together. It had great moral content, and I loved the open dialogues with God. That's the kind of stuff that makes me feel good when I read it.
