His grief-stricken state of mind fueled his stubborn bitterness and resentment, so he devised and plotted a meticulous plan to murder and get revenge on Eric, the story's antagonist.

Brad is a resentful man on a mission to murder the drunk driver that killed his child.

One day, he observed the love bond between Eric, his wife, and his daughter—a connection that mirrored his former life.

This connection moved him to compassion, resulting in a change of heart.

Ultimately, he experienced a sudden dramatic transformation. A once neurotic man full of rage shifted to an empathetic man who chose to forgive his daughter's killer.

This dramatic story was suspenseful, unpredictable, and chock-full of unexpected shifts in a shocking turn of events.

It contains lots of imagery and a captivating plot that sparks curiosity and forces the reader to explore the rest of the story.

The author did an excellent job crafting a dramatic story that tugs at your heart, provokes sympathy, and intrigues the reader to hang around to the end.
