Higher Hope by Robert Whitlow

This book is a court dram following the life of a law clerk, Tami, and the people in her life. Tami is a person with high morals and beliefs. Her beliefs are very important to her and she lives her life that way. Tami is working as a summer clerk and has 2 men interested in her. You get a lot of insight to her life when she takes one of these men home to meet her family. A very interesting visit keeps you wanting more.
Due to these high beliefs, Tami gets the opportunity to be a part of a high profile case. There is a preacher who is thought to be crazy and have strange ways of reaching people. In a sub story, you get to see the life of this preacher and understand her. As the story unfolds, you find that while you think you might have it figured out, you seem to change your mind throughout.
I think the author did a really good job of keeping the flow going and giving good insight to the characters. When I started reading the book, I found myself a little confused, and thinking I wouldn't enjoy the book. I was surprised to find that I really got into the book and had a hard time putting it down.
I enjoyed how you were able to see both storylines. I gave you an understanding of why the characters were the way they were.
I would recommend this book and look forward to reading the other books in this series, and other ones by the author.
