The Confession by Robert Whitlow~A Review~

ABOUT THE CONFESSION
In Holt Douglas's line of work, there's nothing sweeter than a confession of guilt.

Assistant D.A. Holt Douglas makes his living exposing lies and sending criminals to jail in Ashley County, Georgia. His job is always easier when defendants, instead of remaining silent, blame someone else or try to excuse their actions. With a confession in his hand, Holt knows a guilty plea will soon follow.

But lurking in Holt's past is a dark secret that could end his successful career and possibly his relationship with Angelina, his hoped for fiancé.

When Holt reopens a cold case involving the death of the town's wealthiest businessman-allegedly killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest-Holt doesn't believe it was suicide. Instead, he suspects murder.

As he investigates, Holt's own guilt threatens to destroy him and the cause of justice he's sworn to serve. While he knows his own confession could absolve him of his sin, it could cost him his future. Will he survive long enough to uncover the true crime that this small southern town has been hiding?

MY REVIEW
   The Confession by Robert Whitlow is an excellent book.  It shows us we can come to conclusions about different things and be totally wrong. We can hold hate or anger in our hearts about something that happened or hold onto anger because you have been wronged, but the only way to live is to have true forgiveness and continue with your life.
  In this book Holt is hiding something, but tries to put it out of his mind. He tries to right the wrong that others  are doing, while he keeps his past secret.
  The Confession is full of mystery, intrigue, suspense and even romance. In this novel there are so many twists and turns that you will be amazed at the outcome of the story. I really love a good suspenseful book and The Confession did not disappoint.  I highly recommend this book. It will be a favorite of yours. Very, very good book.

Sherry Stringfield / Laura Bennett 
Born in Colorado Springs and raised in Texas, actress Sherry Stringfield is perhaps best known for playing Dr. Susan Lewis on NBC’s hit drama, “ER.” As a series regular, Stringfield garnered three Emmy® nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, two Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama and a People’s Choice Award nomination. Stringfield is also known for series regular roles on “NYPD Blue” and “Guiding Light.”
Between her busy series television schedules, Stringfield has also appeared in several feature films, including the 1998 Miramax film “54” alongside Mike Myers, Salma Hayek and Ryan Phillippe and 2000’s “Autumn in New York” with Richard Gere and Winona Ryder. She has also enjoyed success in the independent films “Viva Las Nowhere,” “Forfeit” and “Fencewalkers,” and recently starred in the Screen Gems production, “Stepfather.”
Stringfield currently resides in Los Angeles with her two children.

Katie Leclerc grew up in Lakewood, Colorado, the youngest of three siblings in a close-knit family. In grade school, her spunky personality and megawatt smile won her the lead role in a production of Annie. It was in this play that she discovered her passion for acting, while juggling other after-school activities such as basketball, choir and dance. When her family moved to San Diego, Leclerc continued to pursue theatre at Valley Center High. She started booking commercials including Pepsi, Cingular, Comcast and GE. Then she got her first big break, a role on the cult favorite TV show, “Veronica Mars,” starring Kristen Bell.

Currently Leclerc stars in the hit ABC Family show "Switched at Birth." Her other TV credits include "CSI," “The Riches,” “The Ex-List” and “The Hard Times of RJ Berger.” She also starred in the feature films “The Inner Circle” and “Flying By,” with Billy Ray Cyrus as well as the independent film "Mesmerized." At home Leclerc can often be found hiking on one of L.A.’s hidden trails.

Versatility, discipline and a solid work ethic have been the underpinnings of Adrian Paul’s very successful 24-year acting career. With over twenty-five films and two hundred hours of television experience, it can be said Paul has successfully taken on a rich diversity of roles.

During the past four years, in between spending time in Europe developing his own production company and running his charity the Peace Fund, Paul has also been starring and co-starring in films such as “The Heavy,” “Eyeborgs,” “Nine Miles Down,” “Deadly Descent” and “Cold Fusion.”

Paul is set to direct his first feature in 2013, is developing a mini-series based in 1850s Louisiana and in December 2012 launched his own radio show called Peace Fund Radio. The focus being on charitable work around the world, highlighting notable celebrity guests linked to charitable organizations of their own, as well as showcasing the Peace Fund’s Charitable partners worldwide.

Having worked in film, television and theater, and now radio, in both Europe and America, Paul is now recognized in countries all over the world.

MY REVIEW
  The Confession written by Beverly Lewis made into a DVD is excellent. I was quite intrigued by how this second movie in the series kept my interest and how it turned out.
The actors did a wonderful job and the settings were marvelous. I loved the mansion Laura lived in and the sounding grounds.
  I like how Katie was pushed into being a servant in her mother’s house and how she was sweet and loving about it.
  This is a wholesome family movie that will be fantastic for a family night. It teaches many lessons and like the DVD covers says The Confession is “A touching story of deceit, trust and love.”
  I would highly recommend this DVD to everyone. If you love Amish stories and good movies this one is for you. I love the way it ended, but I know a third one will be coming out and I look forward to that.
