Synopsis
Nate O'Riley, a high-powered D.C. lawyer and recovering alcoholic, must fight both a morally corrupt legal system and his own recurring addiction to find Rachel Lane, a young woman working as doctor deep in the Brazilian wetlands. Rachel has inherited a multi-billion-dollar fortune, but with her other siblings clamoring for a piece of the pie, she unknowingly needs Nate's help to fend them off. But Nate's journey to Brazil becomes a greater, more dangerous adventure than he expected, eventually proving that he needs her help much more than she needs his. An independent, self-assured woman, Rachel opens Nate's eyes to a world he had never known: a world devoid of corruption, money and liquor, and instead, filled with faith and spirituality. A Publishers Weekly best-seller for 31 weeks, THE TESTAMENT was the magazine's longest-running fiction hardcover best-seller in 1999.

Reviews
Although I finished it,in the hopes it would pick up speed and depth...I had to push myself to. Initially the plot sounded so unique and Gisham is usually a master storyteller, but this one left me wanting more and moved just too slowly. He began a lot of sub-plots, but none of them ran too deep and none are really finished in a very satisfactory way. The characters didn't develop enough to be real... I had high hopes, but it didn't deliver what I have come to expect from Grisham...a great, page turning, story. Not his best!
