Robert Mitchell is a good man who made a desperate decision. A penniless father with a sick child, he stole $20 worth of medicine just to save the life of his small country. Now, he stands heartbroken in the middle of a packed courtroom, facing jail and the fear of losing the only person he has left.
Judge Catherine Westbrook is known as the “Iron Judge.” Paralyzed by a car accident three years ago, she buries her heart beneath her black robes. She has no patience for excuses. The law is the law. Robert is preparing himself to bid farewell to his freedom.
But suddenly the heavy court door opened.
Five-year-old Lily, wearing a dress that was too big for her, walked past the bailiff and squatted in front of the judge’s high chair. The entire courtroom erupted in laughter as the little girl offered an impossible thing: her father’s freedom in exchange for a miracle.
