        The addition of Adam to the trial and Matt’s heart attack was not necessary to complete the story. It just seemed to be over the top. I do believe the author was able to flesh out the characters to a point where the reader felt like they knew enough to follow and involve themselves in the story line. Overall, it was a well written book.

          I agree – the heart attack plot line was not necessary.  The story was already intense enough.

          I have to say, the description of the baby’s delivery really impacted me.  Matt said that his wife’s body jumped/lurched as the baby was pulled from her.  Made her seem like a vessel that held/protected the life inside!  I’ve never seen a c-section, and maybe that is a very realistic description. But it stopped me short!
