TUESDAY'S CHILD is an unforgettable page turner!
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, itβs 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 β or of Adam Starβs guilt β but the
prosecution convinced a jury otherwise. Sophie was convicted
on a Tuesday β 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 Kalaβs 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
β 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 β even those we think
we know best.
