Welcome to a new work week! Are you ready?

Have you ever wondered how far you would go when someone you love is irreparably hurt by another? What would you do as your anger and rage grows and you realize that you need and must do something. In the book, For Better And Worse, we are introduced to a set of parents who push the limits to protect their son. 

Natalie and Will Clarke are a lawyer couple. They met in law school and as a lark once discussed the fact that it might be possible to get away with murder. Interesting topic of conversation, but one that they never realized they might consider following through with someday. 

Natalie and Will marry and the years go by as Natalie, a criminal defense attorney, and Will, an estate attorney, have married and have a son. They find themselves drawn into a crime that is both heinous and awful, a parent’s nightmare really, and as Natalie well knows the criminal justice system, she is convinced that the system is not always fair to those who have been harmed.

 Natalie, devises a plan and in following this plan to its conclusion, she draws Will into its clutches. Will eventually comes to the realization that he really doesn’t know his wife as well as he thought, but now that his family has been hurt, he finds he doesn’t really know himself either. Then again, Will has a secret and his drinking is starting to take its toll on him. They struggle with knowledge, they struggle with hurt and anger, and then they go ahead and set themselves on a course that will change their lives.

This book make one think of the lengths parents will go to to protect their child. When you know that the one you love, the child of your heart is hurt and probably damaged you might just be the one to go to the furthest ends to seek your revenge.
