"Unique perspective on the human race"
Sandy Cross is a beautiful wealthy defense attorney who
works mainly with the underprivileged in Droughton. Her
husband Will is a general reporter at the local paper, a
job that totally satisfies him. Although their idyllic
marriage hits a rough spot when Sandy guiltily confessed
her infidelity to Will, they manage to move past it and are
now planning on having a child together. One night when Sandy is late getting home Will has a
premonition that something is drastically wrong. He calls
the police and later discovers that Sandy deliberately
drove her car off a cliff. She was thrown from the car and
because of the intensive brain damage lapsed into a deep
coma that the doctors think she will survive. Her suicide
attempt sets off a chain reaction of events that will lead
to the arrest and conviction of an innocent woman, Sandy's
client and friend Billi Stradi. As a result of this murder
conviction, Will never be able to look at his closest
friends the same way again. From the very first page of this story, readers know that
the events that transpire in this book are not as straight
forward as they appear. What keeps readers eagerly turning
the pages is that they don't know who actually perpetrated
these events and what part Will played in the days
following his learning of his wife's infidelity. THE
WAKING is an inspired and thought provoking thriller
written by an author who has a unique perspective on the
human race. Harriet Klausner
