Publisher's Synopsis
Kelly MacLeod has just become one of the youngest Family Court judges in Massachusetts, and she is determined to do what is right. But what is right when your deepest emotions clash with the law? Kelly's very first case is a custody battle for Tessa Madison, the twelve-year-old adopted daughter of Anne and Randall Madison. Caught between her warring parents and a desire to meet her birth mother, Tessa tries desperately to please all parties. Meanwhile, Kelly must judge her own past and demonstrate wisdom beyond her experience. But, in spite of her constant attempts to remain impartial, she feels an attraction to Randall that may make this first case her last.
