Fifty-two year old Hawaiian Mikala Aulani is a defense
attorney in Dunwoody, Georgia for Sophie Lee a 24 year old,
RN caring for a critically ill wealthy woman that she stands
accused of killing. Sophie believes
that everything bad happens to her on a Tuesday. Verdict day
is a Tuesday! When Sophie is convicted even though many
believe Adam Star to be guilty Kala is filled with regret
over not being able to prove her client's innocence.
Ten year later and Kala is planning to retire to be with her
significant other, retired Judge Ben Jefferson, it's time
to devote herself to the relationship of 25 years. Packed
and ready to leave the office for their 6 month vacation,
a DVD delivered to her reveals a terminally ill Adam Star
confessing to the murder of his wife. Furthermore, Adam has
left his entire estate worth millions to Sophie, leaving her
one of the richest women in the world. The prison release of
Sophie begins a whirlwind effort to file wrongful
prosecution against the town and more personally, Ryan
Spenser, the prosecutor on the case.
The plan to sequester Sophie away
in Hawaii at Kala's home soon goes awry and her presence
becomes known. As further evidence is uncovered, Kala's
outlook of the events as well as the conduct of Ryan soon
becomes troublesome to her. Everything is not as it looks
or should be and Tuesdays aren't always predictable. Kala
fears her secrets will forever be her burdens alone to bear.
TUESDAY'S CHILD is is such a suspenseful and exciting
mystery, packed
full of intrigue. The characters are brilliant weaving
their investigations into something that no one could
possibly fathom. As usual Fern Michaels has again outdone
herself in creating a most compelling tale of love and
adventure in the beautiful South and the lovely Hawaii. I
seldom miss a new book by this author as they always
completely capture my every moment!
On the eve of her retirement, Georgia attorney Mikala Aulani
is as vivacious and vibrant as ever, eagerly anticipating a
happy future with her partner, Ben. But if Kala has learned
anything in thirty-five years of practicing law, it’s that
the truth can always surprise you. And when Adam Star turns
up at her office, confessing to the long-ago murder of his
wife, Kala must return to a notorious case that has never
stopped haunting her.
Ten years have passed since young
nurse Sophie Lee was accused of murdering her wealthy
patient, Audrey Star. Kala defended Sophie and had no doubt
of her innocence — or of Adam Star’s guilt — but the
prosecution convinced a jury otherwise. Sophie was convicted
on a Tuesday — the day on which every significant event in
her life, good or bad, seems to happen. Now, on the verge of
his death, Adam exonerates Sophie and also leaves her a huge
fortune in atonement.
Released from prison, Sophie retreats
to Kala’s house and tries to evade the media frenzy that
surrounds her. Kala is determined to help her client make
her way back into the world and adjust to her new wealth and
freedom. Yet for both, there are still revelations in store
— about the nature of redemption, the strange workings of
fate, and the power of forgiveness. And most of all, about
the secrets that hide in every heart — even those we think
we know best.
