License to Kill by Jane Pinney is a novel about people in the life of Jess, the main character, from whom she learns that God is the only one worthy of her trust. He stood by her, giving her the strength to defend herself against many of them, even those she was fighting to protect. It is a modern day story of Job, where Jess loses everything and everyone in her life. She also loses her health, and, while fighting for her life, has to fight for her liberty. Jess regains her life at 55, after being kept in a drug-induced state of semi-consciousness for three decades and then poisoned for two years once she decided to break free. When her health returns, she realizes how evil the world has become since she was 18, when awareness was taken from her. She awakens to the realization of the extreme danger her children and mother are in.
