Tara Shiloh knows she’s not a drug addict. She’s positive she’s a good mother and hard worker. So why is she in an alley with a needle in her arm? Waking up in the hospital without her son is terrifying. Being told she can’t have him back nearly crushes her. With her memory spotty and the circumstances incriminating, Tara must fight to learn the truth and wrestle with the idea that maybe her son … son is better off without her. Reid Holliston defends guilty people for a living and it’s slowly killing him. He’s certain there is no such thing as a truly blameless client anymore. When his phone rings with a voice from his childhood his jaded views make him certain Tara is just one more criminal claiming innocence. But even his skepticism isn’t enough to keep him away. Best friends from a lifetime ago, the two must find a way to trust each other again in spite of how the years apart have changed them. Can a promise made in childhood be enough to save them both?

With the legal system as it is today you can easily see how this could very well be a true story. It’s far too easy to say a person is guilty by virtue of the circumstances. Put on top of that a previous problem with the legal system and the innocent finds themselves behind the eight ball. Excellent read.
I started this book this morning around 7am and finished it by 1 pm. I could not put it down. The main characters were realistic and maybe because I’ve lived in Boston, believable. I will admit that the ending was not a surprise to me, yet the story line was still engaging and enjoyable. I recommend this book to you.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but the main character could have proven to anyone in 5 seconds flat that she wasn’t a drug user by the fact that she didn’t have multiple needle marks in her arms, and was otherwise in perfect health. Any physical test would have shown that, and the doctors and police would never have even got started accusing her of this. I stopped reading after feeling that I’d given it a good chance. It’s very, very rare for me to give up on a book.
Good book
I liked this book.
Loved it! It kept me up late for a couple of nights!
It was good. I enjoyed the story.
Really good!
Loved it!
Does this book evoke emotions! What a read! As I read this story, I would get mad, then cry. You can’t help but to feel for this woman. A must read.

Could be a true story, these things still do happen all the time. Good read.
It was fast paced and very suspenseful. The plot was well written and entertaining.
i was disappointed in the dialog. didn’t make me like the characters.
You won’t want to put this one down!
Great easy read page tuener
Good grief, if she whined one more time, I’d have pushed that heroin syringe at her myself!
I’t hard to imagine being in this situation, but the author hooks you in the first chapter and keeps you guessing until the very end. Good read!
Diabolical. To think that a couple would go so far as to murder their son and his wife to fulfill their cult vision.
