Riassunto

Tara Collins is an ambitious young lawyer who wants to change the world. She owns a successful law firm in Oakland, California, and has dedicated her life to helping families—especially women and children—navigate the complex legal system.During the past year, Tara helped her best friend, Ella Thornton, through a difficult period of her life. In appreciation, Ella surprises Tara with a remarkable gift: a $700,000 check to fund pro bono work. Tara’s mind surges with ideas for how to use the money, and decides to establish a non-profit foundation that provides family law services to those in need. She feels enormous responsibility for its success because of Ella’s friendship.After several early wins, The Foundation accepts an unusual case about a terrified girl who has nowhere to turn. The case confronts Tara’s deepest beliefs about human nature, forces her to relive a painful family secret and takes her passion for helping the underdog to a level she never could have imagined. Why is Tara so driven to help the less fortunate? What does she learn about human nature that changes her forever?The Foundation is a gripping tale about forced prostitution that explores the impact of choices we make in our lives, and it immerses you into a world of darkness and shadows, while offering a glimpse of hope that sometimes one person can make a difference.This novel is for mature audiences. It contains graphic descriptions of violence, nudity and language that may offend some readers.
