We go out in the worst possible weather, that’s usually when Murphy’s Law asserts itself. Everyone can relate to Murphy’s Law that states “When something can go wrong, it will go wrong and at the worst possible moment.” When does the furnace act up?

I remember going to a chimney fire in a complete blizzard and shutting down a woodstove with a fire extinguisher. I overheard one of the Chief’s ask the homeowner when was the las...
One day after picking Baby T up at school the two of us decided we wanted to play outside. Since it was nice enough we got all ready with snow pants, boots and scarves. First we tried to make a snowman but the snow wasn’t snowman ready. So after the failed snowman attempt I just followed Baby T around the yard as he would summon me with a, “Come…Follow me mommy.” We climbed up snow banks and slid down them. We sat on top of snowdrifts and sang “Abcd’s” as loud as we could. Well, as loud as he could, I’m a little reluctant to have the neighbors...

The genre of this book is a little different from what I’m used to reading but I think that’s why I thought it was so good. This is the only book I’ve read that can be categorized as legal suspense and I actually found it to be very interesting. It begins with billionaire Troy Phalen. Before he died he made a hand written holographic will leaving everything to an illegitimate daughter that seems impossible to find. When Josh Stafford, the lawyer to the now deceased Mr. Phalen, tells Troy’s 6 children about this new will that has cut them fr...
