A woman searches
for that desperately needed balance between a demanding job and a personal
life.
About Ruff Justice: Irene Lisner was
not expecting a request to mediate her sister’s marriage. Or to drop her own
list of cases to help a coworker. Or a new dog to come into her life. Or a
date. A talented principal and a rigid business manager have squared off over
accusations of false enrollment, improper purchasing, and state curriculum
violations. As Irene investigates the charges, she finds hidden agendas and
ulterior motives that make her wonder if she can restore justice to the
hardworking school. And, of course, her irrepressible best friend has something
to say on everything, especially the new dog.
Our Review: It isn’t often
when we find a character we can admire, someone who works each day at a
demanding job while balancing the demands from extended family members, and coping
with a chronic, potentially debilitating illness. On top of all that, she’s
just lost her much loved canine partner and must decide if she can manage a new
dog—or give up an important part of herself.
This is a touching story on so many
levels—watching Irene help the less fortunate protect and preserve their basic
rights to an education, while supporting a family in crisis, and just maybe
finding a new human partner to compete with the canine.
Based on a scale of 1-5. Ruff
Justice merits a 7.
