Conflict of Interest is the fifth book in Scott Pratt's series featuring Joe Dillard, a brilliant lawyer whose career has seen him as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney.. This time, Joe faces one of his most challenging cases yet when a little girl is kidnapped, and her parents are accused of the crime. Despite the police's firm belief that the girl's father is the murderer, Joe decides to defend him, determined to uncover the truth.
As Joe digs deeper, he's removed from the case under mysterious circumstances but continues his investigation on his own. Driven by his wife’s heartfelt plea—after she receives devastating news about her health—Joe is more determined than ever to find the missing girl, who was one of his wife's ballet students. This well-written story skillfully balances the tension between Joe's personal and professional life, delivering another satisfying read from Scott Pratt. Highly recommended!
Talking about our feelings is a powerful way to process emotions and start healing. When we voice our thoughts and feelings, they often lose some of their intensity because they’re no longer just swirling around inside us. Instead of being trapped in our minds, they’re shared, and this act of sharing can provide relief.
Having someone to listen—whether it’s a friend, family member, or therapist—can be incredibly validating. It helps us feel understood and supported, which is crucial in managing and overcoming difficult emotions. The simple act of being heard can provide clarity and perspective, making emotions feel less overwhelming.
Writing, for Anzaldúa, was more than just a means of communication; it was a revolutionary act that could inspire change and foster solidarity. Gloria Anzaldua was a Chicana scholar feminist and writer know for her influential work on Chicana and queer identities. Her quote reflect the power that writing has to denounce and stand for human rights and gender equalities. Writing empower woman and make rise her voice against injustice.

Pablo Neruda, the renowned Chilean poet, beautifully captured the essence of happiness in his quote: "Happiness is inward, not outward; therefore, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are." This profound statement reminds us that true happiness comes from within, rather than from external possessions or circumstances.
True happiness is an internal state of being. To find happiness we must look inside us and understand who we are and what we value. Material possessions can provide temporary satisfaction but not lasting one. Happiness is tied to our intrinsic values and how we live with them. #quotes #writers #quoteoftheday |
