Synopsis: "Brek Cuttler has it all: a
husband she loves, a daughter she adores, a successful law practice. And
then one day everything she has ever known disappears. Brek finds
herself standing on a deserted train platform, covered in blood. As she
tries to comprehend what is happening to her, a man from her past
approaches and explains that she has been chosen to join the elite team
of lawyers charged with prosecuting and defending souls at the Final
Judgment.
As Brek struggles to find her way
back to her husband and daughter, she will discover that her first
client holds the shocking secret of her fate. That seemingly disparate
events during her life have conspired to bring her to a single moment in
time that will determine her eternity. And that every act of kindness
and cruelty sets in motion things beyond our wildest imaginations."
Kimmel has created an imaginative story in The Trial of Fallen Angels. A woman dies and ends up in a place called Shemaya which is the
equivalent it seems of a fictitious court in heaven and is put in the
position of representing her own murderer. It's an interesting book
going back forth in time periods covering what at first looks like
individuals who all end up somehow being related activity and family
wise. It gets into philosophy, religion, good versus bad, forgiveness, Germany and Auschwitz. It is very intense.
