Synopsis

The women of the Sisterhood know life isn’t fair, but that doesn’t mean they have to like it – or let it pass. Instead, these best friends share their joys, troubles, triumphs, heartaches and one collective mission: to right wrongs and bring justice where it is desperately needed. Even reeling from the loss of one of their own, the Sisterhood is always prepared to rally behind a new friend. For years, Paula Woodley has suffered the broken bones and shattered self-esteem caused by an abusive marriage. But what can she do? Her high-profile, Washington power-broker husband is not a man to be crossed. Or so he thinks. The Sisterhood may not be an organization found in any of his memos, but he’s about to take a meeting with them – and they’ll be setting the agenda...

About Fern Michaels

Self-described as someone who can scribble notes and tell great stories, author Fern Michaels, aka Mary Ruth Kuczkir, is a very prolific writer having written 147 books, with 90 being on the New York Times best sellers list. She was born in Pennsylvania, coming into this world as "a dinky little thing", as her father called her. She spent the early part of her adult life becoming a wife and mother of five children. After her children were grown, she separated from her husband, who was a very negative person, and began putting pen to paper to begin her writing career. She had always loved books, and writing one seemed to be the best chance for her to make her own way through the rest of her life. Her first manuscript was not published, but the second attempt was, and so began her illustrious career.

Her successful career allowed her to put all five children through college, on her own, which she claims is one of her most proud accomplishments. She says that when all is considered, family is the most important thing. Fern also bought a beautiful old (300 year old) plantation in South Carolina, where she still lives today. Her grandmother gave her very sage advice many years ago, which she lives by today.......when God is good to you, you have to give back. She developed the Fern Michaels Foundation which grants four scholarships to deserving students. She also opened a pre-school and day care center for single moms who are having a hard time supporting their family.

The quote that best describes is a Dutch saying.......If you can't whistle on your way to work, you don't belong in that job. She follows by saying, "I whistle all day long".

Goodreads review by Mary on November 21, 2012

What happens when those in high places use their power to abuse their family, thinking they can get away with their crimes just because of who they are? That is the basic essence of "The Jury." I was intrigued by the write-up on the back of the book, however when I started reading it wasn't until ha......more

Goodreads review by Joie on February 25, 2013

Fern Michael's Sisterhood series continues to grow more annoying and ridiculous with each book. The Jury is the worst yet. These stories are corny, far-fetched and at this point, I'm not sure if I will see the series through. I can understand desperately wanting to see justice served, but these women......more

Goodreads review by Pooja on August 11, 2021

After a drunk driver runs over her daughter and escapes the consequences, Myra Rutledge sets up a group of women to take revenge outside the law. In this book, Nikki, her adopted daughter, takes revenge against a high-powered abusive husband. This was a confusing book. There are two major revenge sch......more

Goodreads review by Bookish Enchantment on November 08, 2014

This is like an ongoing soapie that snares you in because it is simple and interesting. This book did not have as much development of characters as previously and had a touch of romance to soften the revenge being undertaken.......more

Goodreads review by Carole on March 17, 2014

Once again...nothing good to say. However, I am ashamed to admit that I seem to be aggravatingly addicted. The narrator is alright as far as the main characters voice goes, but when she pulls in characters such as Myra, Charles, Jack, etc....she's totally unbearable to listen to. Remember that monot......more
