How far would you go to save the one you love?
John was once an ordinary man—a husband, a father, a bank employee. But when a cruel twist of fate rips away his livelihood and threatens the life of his sick daughter, he's forced to make an impossible decision. Denied treatment because of a debt he cannot repay, and abandoned by a system meant to protect him, John does the unthinkable: he walks into a hospital with a gun, determined to save his child by any means necessary.
Told with emotional depth and striking realism, The Weight of a Hand is a heart-wrenching journey through love, desperation, justice, and sacrifice. This powerful novel explores what happens when society's cracks become chasms, and a good man is driven to the edge—not by hate, but by hope.
Perfect for fans of thought-provoking dramas and morally complex characters, The Weight of a Hand is more than a story—it's a mirror to the struggles many face in silence.
"I wasn't breaking the law... I was asking for my right to see my daughter live."
Raw, human, and unforgettable.
