Imperfect Justice - by Cara C Putman (Paperback)

About the Book

The public believes Kaylene Turner snapped, killed her daughter, and was shot by police. But attorney Emilie Wesley and Turner's brother know the real story. Working together to pursue the constantly evasive truth, can Emilie and Austen save his remaining niece from a violent and controlling father--and find a future for themselves?

Book Synopsis

The police say Kaylene Adams was a murderer--but Emilie Wesley will stop at nothing to clear her client's name and protect the innocent daughter Kaylene left behind.

To the world it seems obvious: Kaylene Adams killed her daughter before taking her own life. Attorney Emilie Wesley knows a different story: Kaylene would never hurt anyone and was looking for a way out of a controlling, abusive relationship. Her death shakes Emilie's belief that she can make a difference for women in violent marriages. Self-doubt plagues her as she struggles to continue her work in the wake of the tragedy.

Reid Billings thought he knew his sister--right up until he learned how she died. He discovers a letter from Kaylene begging him to fight for custody of her daughters if anything should happen to her. No attorney in her right mind would support an uncle instead of the father in a custody case, but Kaylene's letter claims Emilie Wesley will help him.

Thrown together in the race to save Kaylene's surviving daughter, Emily and Reid pursue the constantly evasive truth. If they can hang on to hope together, can they save a young girl--and find a future for themselves in the process?
