Book Synopsis
A scalding examination of modern masculinity and motherhood
Jessica Parks is smart, compassionate, and a true maverick at the peak of her career as a London Crown Court Judge. The system needs to change, and she's challenging it one case at a time.
Behind the robe, Jessica is a loving wife, a supportive parent, and a karaoke fiend. But when an incident involving her son threatens to blow the family apart, she finds herself having to fight for everything she holds dear.
