I am so pissed off about the ignorance in this story. As a government attorney, I am personally offended by the content of this portion of the story, and I apologize to any reader who believes that this is the way that the CPS system functions. I am ashamed that this author believes this is the way it functions. The author's presentation would result in a multimillion dollar civil rights violation claim.

Bad research by the author -- that CPS worker would be fired if she acted as she does in the book, and she would be setting up the County CPS system for a huge lawsuit. Maybe, the author should have spoken to a county attorney before he wrote about this section of the story. Not good, not good.

Ok. This is where the story gets stupid. Working for the government, I can assure you that there is no way that CPS would remove a child from a home without a damn good reason that is fully supported by facts and normally after a hearing.

One third through the book, and, so far, not getting hit over the head by too much religious dogma.

OK. Bad typos really tick me off. Got to page 61 of the e-book, and the editor didn't catch one main character's name substituted for another. Rex is supposed to be talking (and Josh is not in the room), and then the text says, "Josh thought a minute and then smiled . . . ". ARGH!!!!
