A grievous death. A guilty verdict. A grave injustice?
When Callie Shane is killed in a convenience store robbery in Houston, her mother's anguish is laden with guilt and unanswered questions. Not even decades as a funeral director in their hometown of Sparrows Cove can prepare Rebecca Grant for the intensity of her sorrow.
Jude Donovan is convicted of Callie's murder. Now on death row, the young man maintains his innocence. Yet justice is costly, and Jude's heartsick parents must sell their ranch to afford their quest for the truth.
Determined to help the desperate couple is Mac McKeon, an Austin real estate broker specializing in ranch sales, and a devoted family man. His wife Catherine, a woman of influence, is considering a run for Texas governor.
Yet Emma and Lester Donovan are not the only desperate parents. Callie's father, Russell Shane, is tortured by grief and anger. He directs his fury at anyone attempting to delay Jude Donovan's execution or at anyone with the power to stay it.
Three Texas families are strangers until their lives intersect in tragedy, a life-changing series of inroads that no one expected.
