KNOWLEDGE FROM THE PAGE

This was a fun legal thriller that kept the pages turning once you got to the midway point. The main “real world” application is that if you bend the truth to take the easy route to success… it is always a temporary path. Eventually, the house of cards falls and you are left in a much worse position than you started in the first place. No matter how bleak things may seem in any given moment… if you take a breathe, allow some time to clear your mind and your perspective; there is always a rational solution to your issue without making emotional decisions that could ruin your life and the lives of the people around you.
