The Justice

By Angela Elwell Hunt

Book Overview

Hunt's The Justice is about the first woman vice-president, Daryn Austin, who becomes president when the sitting president dies. President Austin concentrates on domestic affairs and on being reelected. She shows herself to be a steady hand in a crisis, and her popularity rises. Then she brings in an old lover to be White House counsel, Cuban American Paul Santana, known for fighting against the return to Cuba of Elian Gonzalez. Rapidly, the two become lovers again. Paul is torn, however, over his disloyalty to his wife and daughter, and the president overplays her hand when she appoints him to the Supreme Court in an attempt to influence their agenda on women's issues. . . . . Hunt's evocation of a woman in power ("You have to play nice with girls, but if you're sharp and think ahead, you can beat them") is always suspenseful, seldom predictable, and frequently insightful.

Customer Reviews

Great read

Always well written, Angela Hunt is an amazing writer who honors God with her talent. Riveting...good research and awesome story lines

Fairness, Justice, & Mercy

Characters I loved, hated, and envied. Ambitious Daryn Austin stops at nothing to achieve the highest position of power. Paul Santana's world of contentment is rocked when Daryn calls him to Washington. His choices lead him to a face-to-face discovery of fairness and justice, both of which he is deserving of. His heart leads him to a throne of mercy, which we are none deserving of. Angela Hunt has produced another winner!

Wonderful!

As a lawyer and government/history buff, I found this book intriguing. As a writer and a Christian, I was delighted by how well written it is. Not all Christian fiction is of this high quality. I especially applaud Ms. Hunt's great job of handling the lead characters' sin realistically/honestly without dragging us through the mud. An entertaining, uplifting, and thought-provoking read.

Contemporary political fiction

Imagine a woman serving as President of the United States. Angela Hunt has researched her topic well--the political scene in Washington--a refreshing change from Christian fiction that usually takes place in the "wild west" days. Readers will enjoy a great story of mystery, scandal, God's grace and forgiveness and also a "behind the scenes" look at political life in Washington.
