diverse and it was really cool and interesting to hear all of them. She wrote of details that I could have never thought about had I not read this book. It was eye opening. I felt like there was a moral lesson as well.
The book came together in an intense, edge-of-your-seat kind of way, and I was hooked even with the things I didn’t enjoy. You might think you know what is happening, but think again.

SPOILER AND TRIGGER WARNING:
Sexual assault between a minor and married man30:T577,This was an amazingly well written courtroom drama that had me on the edge of my seat and kept me guessing through the entire book.

Kim starts out the story in Miracle Creek, Virginia, where Pak Yoo and his wife Young own and operate a HBOT chamber. The Yoo family, with their daughter Mary, immigrated to the US from Korea. One day, there is a fire and fatal explosion at the facility that leaves 2 patients dead and others injured, physically and emotionally.
Kim takes readers inside the minds of those who were involved by having each chapter from a different characters point of view. By the end, I felt like I knew them all.
The story is told through an unfolding courtroom trial, with different characters point of view on the day of the explosion as the background. At first, it is unclear who is responsible for the fire. Was it Pak, who needed the insurance money? Or Elizabeth, who had finally cracked under the pressure of taking care of her autistic son? Everyone seems to have a motif for starting the fire. Just when you think you have it figured out, Kim throws an unexpected twist in there that makes you start guessing again.
All of the little pieces lead to the final outcome and we gradually figure out the truth that I never saw coming.
This book could be put into so many genres, but definitely must read if you love Courtroom Dramas or Whodunits.
