Jesse's Law: Case Two
How do you protect two children when the person putting them in danger is the father they love?
Defence lawyer Jesse Carter has spent her career fighting for people whose stories are too easily dismissed. But her latest case presents a heartbreaking question. What happens when children are both victims of their circumstances and responsible for choices they have made?
Fifteen year old Lucas Bennett and his thirteen year old sister, Mia, have been drawn into their father's dangerous world of addiction and illegal medication.
Dean Bennett is not a monster in his children's eyes. He is their dad. He makes them laugh, remembers their birthdays and promises that things will get better. And despite everything, they believe him.
But the promises are running out.
When the authorities uncover what the children have been doing, Lucas faces serious consequences, Mia's future becomes uncertain, and the family is pulled into a legal battle where love alone cannot make anyone safe.
Jesse must navigate conflicting accounts, difficult evidence and a child protection system struggling to separate genuine affection from devastating harm. The truth could save Lucas and Mia, but it could also destroy the family they are desperate to hold together.
Meanwhile, Jesse is still learning to live without her husband, James. Her three children are growing, her legal practice demands more than she can give, and an unexpected addition to the family is changing relationships she once thought she understood.
With her closest friends beside her and painful discoveries still ahead, Jesse must confront a truth that reaches far beyond the courtroom.
Sometimes the hardest person to stand up to is someone you love.
A Child's Voice is the emotionally powerful second novel in the Jesse's Law series, combining gripping legal suspense, family secrets, moral dilemmas and unforgettable characters.
Because doing what is right and protecting the people you love are not always the same thing.
