Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and Hollie Overton for the opportunity to read and review her new book.
I liked this book much better than Overton's debut novel, Baby Doll. This was a good story that led you to think about many hot-button topics such as the death penalty and domestic abuse.
Kristy is a single mom, working as Public Information Officer for the Texas Dept of Corrections, handling everything for the death row inmates, housed in an area called the Walls. The job is mentally taxing and yet pays the bills for her son, Ryan, and her ailing father. Kristy has basically lived for her family and her job. When she meets Lance, Ryan's judo instructor, she feels that its finally time for her to have happiness. Lance appears to be the perfect man - until she realizes that he isn't.
Clinton is a death row inmate, accused of killing his two small children. In her dealings with him for her job, she develops a friendship with him. His letters to her are interspersed in this book and help guide Kristy to take care of herself.
I raced through this one to see how it would all end up!
