Series overview
About the series
When you can’t speak for yourself, someone else gets the last word. Teresa Nowick makes sure it’s the right someone. As a hospital patient advocate, Teresa steps in when families fight over a voice that has gone silent: a consent that was bought, a son who wants his mother gone, a “she would have wanted this” that no one can prove. The law protects whoever holds the paper. Teresa protects the patient, and every case costs her something. One day the patient in the bed will be someone she loves.
When a patient can’t speak, the law decides who speaks for her. Teresa Nowick’s job starts when the law picks the wrong person.
A daughter is minutes from giving her mother part of her liver. Teresa knows the yes was bought. The law says it still counts.
A mother says stop. The law gives the last word to her son. And her son is next.
And one day the man on the machine is Teresa’s own husband. He asked her for one thing: don’t let my mother near me.
They hide hearing aids. They lie to the dying, turn sister against sister, and call it love. Every one of them can explain why.
Every choice Teresa makes, someone pays for. Sooner or later, it will be her.
The Final Say is a psychological thriller series. Each book stands alone.
For fans of Jodi Picoult and Lisa Scottoline.
