Susan R. Sloan: Act of God

By MICHELE HEWITSON

An abortion clinic, a bomb, a defence attorney who happens to be a woman. You can see where this one's heading.

Listen to the extremists from both sides of the argument. Listen to Dana, the female attorney. Now watch her attempt to defend the accused bomber.

Not so much a whodunnit as an is-abortion-right-or-wrong courtroom drama.

It's heavy on the personal-journey stuff. Read "Dana had never let herself be much concerned about the guilt or innocence of the client, only with the merits of the particular case" and you just know that this is going to be the case where things are about to get personal.
