Greater Love concludes Robert Whitlow's "Tides of Truth" series about Tami Taylor. The first two books brought Tami through her summer internship with a law firm in Savannah. In Greater Love, she is finishing up law school and is faced with deciding whether to take a position where she interned, an established firm that will pay her very well, or to join a start-up firm with a former DA and a fellow intern. Once she felt certain about joining the big firm, Sister Dabney gave her a prophetic word that she should join the women in the new firm.
Figuring out which man to commit to is not as easy a task. She has been courting Zach, but she senses some distance and wonders if he's the one. Her fellow intern has taken a job with Zach's firm, and proves to be a faithful friend, so maybe he's the one. . . .
As she gets settled back in with her landlady from the summer and reconnects with Sister Dabney, her first assignment from the county is to defend a runaway named Jesse. Sister Dabney had been helping her, and together she and Tami have to unravel Jesse's stories about her past and try to defend her. When mysterious people show up and Jessie disappears, things become more complicated.
Whitlow has written a nice trilogy, keeping a balance between suspense and legal matters, and the romance and growth of a young lady. Tami may not be the most likable heroine ever, as her stringent legalism sometimes seems to sap the joy of following Jesus. But I have to admire her steadfastness and her determination to honor her parent's wishes in all things, and to maintain her Christian convictions in the face of challenges in her career and her personal life. Greater Love is a satisfying finish to a very enjoyable trilogy.
