ABOUT THE AUTHORS:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>STEPHEN BALDWIN – actor, family man, born-again Christian – makes his home in upstate New York with his wife and two young daughters.<\/p>\n

Equally adept at drama and comedy, Baldwin has appeared in over 60 films and been featured on such top-rated television shows as Fear Factor and Celebrity Mole. He has his own production company that is developing projects for television and the big screen. These days, however, his role as director, co-producer and host of Livin’ It – a cutting-edge skate video is bringing out his white hot passion for evangelism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Writer and communicator Mark Tabb calls himself an \u201cinternationally unknown author.\u201d Although his books have been published around the world, he is best known for his collaborative works. His 2008 release, \u201cMistaken Identity\u201d, written with the Van Ryn and Cerak families, hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list for two weeks, and remained on the list for over two months. He and actor Stephen Baldwin teamed up on their 2005 New York Times bestseller, \u201cThe Unusual Suspect,\u201d and with their first work of fiction, \u201cThe Death and Life of Gabriel Phillips,\u201d<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Even years of experience haven’t prepared Officer Andy Myers for this case—<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Officer Andy Myers met Loraine Phillips, he had no interest in her son. And he certainly never dreamed he’d respond to a call, finding that same boy in a pool of blood. Even more alarming was the father standing watch over his son’s body. Myers had never seen a man respond to death-particularly the death of a child-in such a way. When the father is charged with murder and sentenced to death, he chooses not to fight but embrace it as God’s will. Myers becomes consumed with curiosity for these strange beliefs. What follows is the story of the bond these two men share as they come to terms with the tragedy and the difficult choices each one must make.<\/p>\n

*STRONG LANGUAGE*<\/span><\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/h3>\n

I read and enjoyed the book but have been running all day and haven’t had the time I’d like to write a decent review. The story is well written with an interesting concept. The surprise ending was totally unexpected – I didn’t see it coming. I was not offended by the strong language – as the author stated, it was probably necessary for the plot to be realistic.<\/p>\n
