Jamie Wagner is a young lawyer who is happy to be flying under the radar at a large firm. Its not that he isn t smart. He is. Its just that hard work, not to mention the whole legal thing, isnt exactly his passion. Underachiever? A little. Content? Right up until the firm puts him on a case that turns his whole world upside down. Sheryl Harrison has served four years of a thirty-year murder sentence for killing her husband, who she claims was abusive. The case is settled--there shouldn t be anything for Jamie to do--except Sheryls fourteen-year-old daughter, Karen, is sick. She has a congenital heart defect and will die without a transplant. Her blood type is rare, making their chances of finding a matching donor remote at best. Sheryl wants to be that donor for her daughter, and Jamie is in way over his head.
