How can Mark begin to compete? But the most bitter blow comes when he is kept from seeing his daughter because of false charges . . . and a legal system ill-suited for finding the truth.Forged in the darkest valley Mark has ever walked through, his faith in God may ultimately cost him everything in the eyes of the family law system.

“My opinion of Bell's writing continues to trend downwards. Back in 2006, this was the first book I read of his after being introduced to him through the Kit Shannon series. I remember really liking it.
Out of the three I've read recently, this is the best. That's not saying much.
While several things seem plausible (and I like the fact that Mark's lawyer is an Armenian woman) everything else is just too hyper-stereotyped and far-fetched. The fact that this story is set in Hollywood doesn't help on that front.
The nail in the coffin was the overt preaching that found its way into the story a little over two/thirds of the way through. There are do many better ways to get Bell's point (which I forget what it actually was) across without resorting to having the main character sit in a church service and listen to a pastor preach a sermon full of pithy, "appropriate" sayings.
Also, everything was resolved way too easily. Few things turn me off more than a near fairy tale ending.”
