Publisher Description
“Scottoline writes riveting thrillers that keep me up all night, with plots that twist and turn.” –Harlan Coben " ...Lowman handles the novel's highly charged and sensitive sections without deviating from her precisely enunciated delivery...[She assists] Scottoline in creating a caring, very human protagonist who faces tough cases and even tougher opposing forces with determination and intelligence." — Publisher's Weekly One boy. One lawyer. One chance for justice. Ten-year-old Patrick O'Brien is a natural target at school. Shy, dyslexic, and small for his age, he tries to hide his first-grade reading level from everyone: from his classmates, from the grandfather who cares for him, and from the teachers who are supposed to help him. But the real trouble begins when Patrick is accused of attacking a school aide. The aide promptly quits and sues the boy, his family, and the school district. Patrick's grandfather turns to the law firm of Rosato & DiNunzio for help and Mary DiNunzio is on the case. Soon Mary becomes Patrick's true champion and his only hope for security and justice. But there is more to the story than meets the eye and Patrick might be more troubled than he seems. With twists at every turn and secrets about the family coming to light, Mary DiNunzio might have found the case that can make her a true protector, or break her heart... With Lisa Scottoline’s trademark emotional depth and fast-paced action, Damaged will have listeners riveted to the last track as they root for the beloved characters and their fight for justice.

"Lawyer Mary DiNunzio is that star of this novel, and her (non legal) naviete is very dangerous for her. She always looks for the best in everyone, but sometimes it's just not there. She expects that everyone has pure altruistic motives like she does, but she learns that's not true. Her work and personal lives collide in a way that Mary could neither foresee nor easily manage. Just when the reader thinks things are "settled" pretty late in the novel, Scottoline adds one *more* revelation that complicates both of Mary's lives. "

Quotes

“Outstanding…Tensions mount until the story concludes with a satisfying, unexpected twist.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
“Scottoline’s merging of the themes of her family-driven stand-alone thrillers with her ongoing legal series continues to work splendidly.”
— Booklist -
“Starting slowly, Scottoline expertly stokes the boiler to the bursting point, and readers will stay up long past their bedtimes watching Mary try to sweet-talk everyone from the family court judge to Anthony Rotunno, her fiancé.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Mary’s anxieties and concerns are brought to life by narrator Lowman, who is equally adept at narrating females and males, children as well as adults.”
— Booklist (audio review) -
“Narrator Rebecca Lowman takes the helm as Mary DiNunzio finds herself in a complex case just before her wedding. Lowman competently connects with the emotional element of the novel’s plot.”
— AudioFile -
“Scottoline’s latest immediately engages the reader and is likely to have them saying, ‘Just one more chapter.’ There are some heartbreaking scenes, and it is well researched down to the tiniest of details, to the point that the reader will walk away with a better understanding of special education law, family law, and child custody issues. Scottoline continues to prove that she is a bestselling storyteller with this expertly crafted storyline!”
