    About this audiobook

    A successful woman lawyer commits adultery when she falls in love with a faith-healing evangelist client and abandons her family and career. Her sister marries her husband who is forced into action against his immoral father-in-law who has covered up injurious malpractice in an academic-institutional surgical practice. Careers and lives are destroyed. Inspired by a true story, the scenes play out in Georgia, Africa, and California. The souls of the rich and privileged are uncovered, and the pains of the neglected and ignored revealed in this award-winning love-story/medical thriller by William H. Coles, the author of the SILF best read novel, The Surgeon's Wife.

      The spirit of want is a story within a story. Plenty of twists and turns. A married Women Lawyer commits adultery with a T.v Evangelist and as a result ruins her career and loses her family. The story takes you on an emotional ride with an unexpected ending.

      I received a copy from Goodreads Giveaways. Unfortunately, I did not like this novel, so have to give it one star. No likeable characters (even the "nice" ones came off as weak-willed and uninteresting). The plot was depressing and unfocused, and it almost felt like the book was just a therapeutic exercise in punishing someone that the Lucy character maybe was based off of.

      ***GoodReads Giveaway***Whiplash! That's what I got from reading this book. The story was all over the place, if I had to put it into a genre I would say drama but really it was so disorganized I can't even be sure. Expect to get very little enjoyment from this piece of work.

      The following review is my honest opinion for the copy I received in a giveaway on GoodReads.comOne thing I don’t do in writing my reviews is to look at what other reviewers have already written, I don’t want the ones they wrote to have any influence on me.I’d looked forward to reading this book after reading its description, which is one of the reasons I decided to enter the giveaway for one of the 100 copies being offered.Unfortunately I became more and more disappointed in what I read. To begin what I felt the 62 chapters it has to be somewhat excessive with some of the chapters being only 1 or 2 pages long. The adding of a character’s name didn’t help matters since you had same character associated with a few chapters in a row.There was no continuity for the characters in this as they could change from one chapter to the next. The book is also in need of some copyediting as well.I’m not going to say anything about the publisher for this book as there’s plenty of information about it already. So for his efforts, the best I can give this book is 3 STARS.Robin Leigh Morgan is the author of “I Kissed a Ghost,” a MG/YA Paranormal romance novel.
