Reviews

'In his latest legal novel, Whitlow (A House Divided) brings readers to New Bern, N.C., where Frank House and his grandson, Parker House, wrestle with an uncanny ability to see the future and the turmoil this talent inspires. Whitlow's characters continuously prove that God loves the broken and that faith is a lot more than just showing up to church. When Frank's past catches up to him and he realizes that Parker has inherited the gift, Frank is challenged to find a way to heal the scars of his soul and guide his grandson to a path that honors the gift that God has given them. Whitlow's contemplative novel is a fine rumination on ethics, morality, and free will. ' * Publishers Weekly *
