Book 2- Not in the heart

"Not in the heart" by Chris Fabry was a drama with a little bit of mystery.  I most certainly did not expect the ending.  The main character Truman was not a truthful man.  His addictions had cost him everything.  He scoffed at his wife Ellen's faith.  Yet she faithfully lived it out by drawing Truman into the drama of Terrell's life sentence.  By "finding" a job that would bring him back to his family and terminally ill son, she gave him a purpose while allowing him to see faith lived out.  Terrell's murder conviction and the question of his guilt was the backdrop of the story. 

Fabry wrote the story with Tru's sarcasim and acerbic wit.  The story of full of angst; Terrell's question of guilt, Tru's addiction, Aiden's health, Ellen and Abby's relationship with Tru, and how everyone fits into the big picture.  The story kept you wondering what was really the truth.  Complete with an unexpected twist, the story was satisfying.
