The third and final book in the Emma Parks series. Emma is a CPS worker in poor urban service area of a large city that is exploding at the seams with violence and hate. The riots and marches threaten everything she believes in, yet the worst part of the story: the chaos is all her fault. Not only does the family who raised her hold her at arm's length, they are suing her to keep what they think is theirs. On top of all this is the devastating news that could change her life forever: she may lose her baby.
This is the third of the Emma Parks series, preceded by "Hope Knocks Twice" and "Saturday's Child."
The reviews about "Emma":
"A little murder--a little romance--a little heartbreak--and plenty of intrigue to keep those pages turning. I wasn't quite sure what to expect in a novel based on a CPS caseworker, but J.T. Hume didn't let me down. I was given characters I could clearly envision, and even though I may have initially viewed them as a bit stereotypical, the author began to add layers and depth as the story progressed and by the end, I felt as if I'd made a few new friends. I'm hooked and willing to follow Emma Parks through further dilemmas!"
"I enjoyed every minute of this read. JT Hume seems to know his social services. As someone deeply acquainted with this field, this story is not far fetched at all. I like the main character, Emma, and her boss, their relationship is interesting. Also, the back story on the main character is complex and will continue, I'm sure, to interfere with her life. Also, the romance is fun. If you enjoy gritty fiction, you'll enjoy this book."

JT Hume started life as a rambling man. Born in El Paso while his US Army parents were stationed in Texas, he's been boots-dry in forty-plus states and lived in three countries. He's a proud Nevadan and product of the Silver State's K12 and higher education system, and he proudly served in the United States Air Force.
The best decision he ever made was when he asked Cassidy Carson to marry him. The jury is still out on whether accepting said proposal was Cassidy's best decision.
JT Hume's books are formed from his knowledge and interest in politics, government, and Nevada. His characters are pushed through strategies honed over many years of playing bad chess. You might say his books are flavored with the love and romance he's shared with his soulmate over their decades together.
Please read his books and reach out to him with questions, corrections, or constructive criticism. Thank you.
