Wow, great story, grabs you from the beginning. Great cliff hanger! I will be reading more of this author. He reminds me of Grisham.

This was an awesome book. The more I read of Robert Whitlow, the more I like him. It has been said that he is the Christian John Grisham. I agree. His books are so good and this one is no exception. Can't wait to read the next one. Defintiely 5 stars!

I really liked this book. Not only is the story very engrossing, but the life support issues are so relevant to today's life. 15 years ago my adult son was badly injured in an accident and suffered a severe brain injury. All of the things that are described in this book, my family lived through. These are issues that all of us need to think about and this book presents them in a way that anyone can understand. Anyway, I recommend this book. Even though my son's situation was totally different, I can attest that this situation can come to any family at any time. PS. In case anybody's wondering, after six months in a coma, today he walks, talks, feeds himself and is able to work at a small part-time job when everyone told us he wouldn't.
Baxter Richardson survived a fall from a cliff while hiking. Whether he'll make it through the next few weeks is unclear. It depends on the machines that help him breathe. On the haunted, ustable wife who wants to pull the plug. On the doting father and on the conflicting legal documenys that send the fight to court.
Wife and husband go on a hiking trip. The wife pushes her husband off the cliff, to kill him for his wealth. She discovers the keys are in his pocket. She retrives them to go seek help. Thinking all along he is dead. He survived the fall, but is unresponsive and on life support. She wants him taken off, but the father says no.
