Saving Max by Antoinette van Heugten
5.0
I really enjoyed this book it brought me back to the days where I used to hungrily devour the fiction written by Jodi Picoult. The law side of this book perfectly balances out both the medical and emotional aspects of the story line so that this book could appeal to a very wide audience.
When her son Max is accused of murdering another patient within an Iowan Psychiatric Asylum, Danielle is forced to stretch herself to her limits in order to prove such allegations wrong. She collects a rag tag group in order to aid her in her effort. This group includes an attorney fresh out of a divorce, an old detective, and of course Danielle's own persistent and bold efforts.
This story I believe at its base is not the story of a legal court but rather the story of a mother and her son. It really emphasizes the bond between mother and child and shows exactly what a mother is willing to do to protect her child.
Overall this a beautifully written piece of work. I read it quickly and loved every aspect of it. I suggest this book to anyone who wants to read about the beauty found within all of us as human beings. Great novel, great author. Great Read.
Instant favorite!
