From Amazon.com: Lawyer Jason Dark has finally gotten his life together - he has revived his father's dying vineyard and happily reunited with his wife and son. But one rainy night as he drives recklessly along a mountain road, Jason accidentally hits and kills a young man. When he tells no one, the death is pinned on a drifter. In an attempt to save the innocent man, Jason decides to defend him in court. But the case takes an unexpected twist - one which will haunt Jason for the rest of his days.
CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES: Passed on to Flathat37 at tonight's monthly meetup. Counts as part of the "Oh, the Places We Can Go" release challenge. (There is a "Rain" in Austria, Germany, and the USA)
Very intense and at times frustrating - I wanted to smack the main character a few times. But well written. I'm releasing it at our meeting tonight.
Picked up at the monthly BC meetup in Mesa.
Released at a BC meetup a long time ago, but stuck on TBR state.
picked up at a bookcrossing meet up.
A challenging read on many levels. hard to feel compassion for him, but at the same time you could sense the struggle that he was going through. INTENSE. mostly well written!! enjoy!
bringing it to our bookcrossing meetup!
It appears that I have had this for two years without claiming it. Sorry about that.
Finally got around to reading this book and it turned out to be much more intriguing than I had expected. I can sympathize with previous readers anger at Jason. What he did was certainly wrong. We would all like to think that we would make a better choice if faced with a simiiar situation. But without facing the situation ourselves, can we ever be sure what decision we would make? I experienced simultaneous anger and sympathy with the character.
