Portraits of Forgiveness Patrick Hull

Portraits of Forgiveness is a tale of life, love and the law in rural Tennessee. Chad Atkins has become deaf and his mother, Anne, blames his doctors who refuse to talk to her. As a medical malpractice suit, filed by country lawyer Sam Trestle, begins to rip Anne's family apart, Anne is forced to choose between money, revenge, truth and compassion as she fights to prove her case against the medical establishment and the powers of a small Tennessee town. From Chad's illness, through the legal technicalities of a complex lawsuit, this is at once the heartfelt story of a mother's pain, her desire for revenge, and her struggle for peace. Portraits of Forgiveness builds to a surprising courtroom climax, but ultimately leaves us with truths that endure far longer than the twists and turns of this captivating drama.
