Produktbeschreibung

Judge Me Now is an emotionally charged Christian legal drama about a forgotten foster kid who becomes the very thing the system never expected: a judge fighting for the broken lives that look like his own. It blends courtroom tension, family drama, and spiritual resilience into a redemptive story about trauma, faith, and the power of second chances. Born in a crack house and removed from a home soaked in addiction, neglect, and near-fatal abuse, Dallas Jackson begins life as a case file-an underweight, traumatized Black baby written off as another statistic. After being shuffled through an unforgiving foster system, he is finally adopted by the Millers, a loving white Christian family in a neighborhood where his presence provokes racism, bullying, and quiet exile from the community. As Dallas battles PTSD, autism, and relentless schoolyard cruelty, he slowly transforms from a selectively mute, isolated child into a determined student who clings to faith, law books, and the belief that his life can mean more than his beginnings. Through years of hardship, Dallas channels his pain into purpose: he studies late into the night, excels in speech and debate, and earns top grades that carry him from high school to college, then law school and the bar exam. Yet just as he settles into the role he believes God prepared him for, his carefully ordered life is shaken when the past he thought was buried walks straight into his courtroom.

A high-profile case explodes everything Dallas has built: his estranged foster brother appears at the defense table, a long-lost biological brother steps up for the prosecution, and the mother who once lost him to addiction quietly takes a seat in the gallery. As DNA results, sealed records, and painful reunions surface, Dallas must face the crack house he came from, the group home that nearly broke him, and the lies and omissions that shaped his childhood. Cases involving abused kids, system-involved teens, and even an old school bully force him to confront what justice really means when the "defendant" could have been him. Every ruling becomes a test: will he use the law as a weapon of punishment, or as a tool for restoration, mercy, and truth-telling for the forgotten?

Alongside Dallas's journey, the novel follows Donna, his birth mother, as she crawls her way through recovery, education, and quiet years of regret-saving spare dollars in a shoebox and writing unsent letters while working in a small legal office. When she finally reaches out, Dallas must decide whether he can open the door to a woman who nearly cost him his life, even as his adoptive parents, Sara and Hunter Miller, model courageous, sacrificial love that refuses to be shaken by prejudice. The arrival of Roman, the foster-brother-turned-prosecutor whose own life was scattered across case files, completes a circle years in the making, turning their shared trauma into a fragile, hard-won family.

Judge Me Now explores racism, foster care, bullying, autism, generational trauma, and systemic injustice, while still centering hope, faith, and chosen family. It asks whether true justice can exist without mercy, and whether a man with every reason to be bitter can choose grace instead. With emotionally intense courtroom scenes, heartfelt family moments, and a strong spiritual core, this novel is perfect for readers who love:

• Faith-based legal and courtroom dramas with real emotional stakes.
• Stories about foster care, addiction recovery, and the long journey of healing.
• Black Christian fiction and inspirational narratives where broken beginnings do not define the ending.
