In A Storm in Paradise, Christina is raising her son at a distance from her former husband, a charming, manipulative, self-made financier, when her ex dies suddenly in an unexplained accident-and his new wife produces a suspect will, disinheriting his only son. Christina and young Mark face the battle of their lives as they take on slack officials, duplicitous lawyers, and a scheming widow. As the two pull together their strengths and loyalties and refuse to give in, the reader will cheer them on in Olympia Devine’s unflinching novel. - Martha Moffett
