Daryn Austin grew up dreaming of becoming the first female president of the United States. In November, she and Craig Parker win the national election and Daryn moves into the Vice Presidential mansion. Months later, destiny propels Daryn to the pinnacle of power when Parker dies unexpectedly. But Daryn's grand plans to implement real change in American society begin to crumble when she nominates the brilliant lawyer she had loved while attending law school to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. Daryn finds herself in an emotionally charged battle of wills from which neither can escape unscathed.
My Review:
In The Justice, Angela Hunt does an excellent job of exposing us into the inner workings of Washington, and more closely, the Oval Office. The character of Daryn Austin was passionate but flawed seeking the affection and respect of her own father, that she never was able to achieve. I felt she was a truly tragic character. She was the embodiment of those who lust after power and sacrifice anything for more, never to be satisfied. Paul Santana, on the other hand, was able, with God's help, to change from that path he was on, to making a positive influence. A good read for those who like the political dramas.
