Delayed Justice by Cara Putman

Jaime Nichols went to law school to find the voice she never had as a child, and her determination to protect girls and women in the path of harm drives her in ways both spoken and unspoken. As Jaime, now a criminal defense attorney, prepares to press charges against someone who wronged her long ago, she must face not only her demons but also the unimaginable forces that protect the powerful man who tore her childhood apart.
Chandler Bolton, a retired veteran, is tasked with helping a young victim who must testify in court—and along with his therapy dog, Aslan, he’s up for the task. When he first meets Jaime, all brains, beauty, and brashness, he can’t help but be intrigued. As Chandler works to break through the wall Jaime has built around herself, the two of them discover that they may have more to offer one another than they ever could have guessed—and that together, they may be able to help this endangered child.
This thrilling installment of the Hidden Justice series explores the healing power of resolution and the weight of words given voice. And as Jaime pursues delayed justice of her own, she unearths eternal truths that will change the course of her life.

This was quite an eye opener book for me.  The story reveals the trauma experienced by children who have been molested in childhood and how it affects them into adulthood.  Jamie was a victim of sexual molestation by her uncle.  As an adult, she now feels she is strong enough to press charges against him.  This is the story of Jamie's journey.  I recommend this book to everyone.  It is the third in the series.  But can be read as a stand alone book.

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
