With Love from the Inside por Angela Pisel
This doesn't read like a mystery at all, but chick lit. I wasn't expecting that. This book is shoved full of increasingly unrealistic cliches, plot contrivance, and heaps of protagonist-centered morality. I do appreciate that the author steered clear of the biggest plot contrivance cliche, though. The ending was the best part of the book for many reasons. The writing was okay. I really liked that none of the prose was purple, although there were indeed a few Dead Herrings (thanks to Das Sporking for the term). I rolled my eyes and grumbled at a lot of the subplots. I'm glad I read this, though. I have a feeling death sentences in fiction rarely end in death, and have a list of books with the topic so I can learn the answer. EDIT 12/1/2018 Dreamwidth: Actually, quite a few end in death. I flipped to the last thirty pages of many books on my list so I could read the buildup to the death scene, which were often the only pages that mattered to me… (más)

Then as her execution date approached, Grace's daughter and lawyer got around to researching old paperwork and discovered that William had a metabolic disorder. Otherwise, the book annoyed me a great deal, in large part because it morphed into Christian fiction without being advertised as such.

jepps19 | 11 reseñas más. | Nov 25, 2019 | The truth will set you free, or will it? Grace Bradshaw finds the date of her looming execution approaching. She has been in prison for the death of her baby for a very long time. She desperately writes to her daughter, Sophie, every day in hopes of reconnecting with her before her death.
Sophie has left that part of her life behind her and is married to a successful doctor who has no idea about her past. She has told no one in the new life she has built for herself about her mother or dead baby brother. When her mother’s lawyer finally tracks her down she is forced to face her past and she must decide if she will visit her mother before she dies and how she will tell her husband that she has lied those whole time about her family.
Sophie: “Nothing would fill the empty cavern that had burrowed itself deep inside her the day her mother was dragged away from her in handcuffs.” “My entire life has been altered because of my mother. Pain doesn’t begin to describe what I feel.” Sophie has believed that her mother was guilty of killing her brother all this time, but now she starts to question everything. Is her mother really innocent? If so, will she be able to prove it before she is executed?
