About the Book:

Jackson Berman’s career as a criminal-defense attorney
was exploding. He was widely reputed to be defender of the innocent and protector of the rights of the guilty. The rightly and wrongly accused wanted him in their corner. But his marriage was imploding. He would stop at nothing to remain in his young daughter’s life, even if it meant giving in to his estranged wife’s whims and demands.

While balancing the highs of his professional life with the lows of his personal life, he took on the most important and challenging client of his career—himself.

Annoying acts of vandalism quickly escalated to attempts on his life. Searching for the person who wanted him dead, he found himself accused of a horrific crime that could send him to prison for the rest of his life. Who would defend the defender?

Certain Truths is a compelling story of one man’s struggle to deal with exaggerations, distortions, and lies and his search for the peace that comes with living with the truth...no matter how ugly it is.

“Stephanie Wyler’s ability to take the reader inside the personal and professional life of a criminal defense attorney will send you on a journey of unexpected twists and turns. Each page draws the reader in as the story begs the question: what are certain truths?”

Sandy Phillips Kirkham, author of “Let Me Prey Upon You - Breaking Free from a Minister’s Sexual Abuse”

My Review:

The title made me think of the US constitution, and this debut novel didn't fall short in any area. The expertise of the author showed through in the story, which pulled me right in and held me till last sentence. Covering a big range of legal, moral, ethical issues, false accusations and more, it is harder to put this book into a small "nutshell". During the story, handling of victims, slinging blame, and all the lives of everyone involved in these crimes and this story are brought into the light as the plot progresses. It's easy to read, far deeper than I'd expected with some twist here and there. Jax and the other characters were easy to connect to, and I found this book to be very emersive. An excellent debut, I hope to read more!

5 Stars.
