Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Ned McAdoo and his younger sister Claire come of age as they grapple with the complications --- at home and at school --- of their father Archie's decision to represent an HIV-positive, gay client in a discrimination lawsuit in the late 1980s, when AIDS was both terrifying and misunderstood. Then ten years later, Ned ---out of law school and now his Dad's law partner --- discovers first hand the challenge of representing an equally controversial client, an alleged eco-terrorist in the year immediately preceding the World Trade Center attack. Presented as the memoir of a middle-aged somewhat cynical Ned, this young-adult novel dramatizes the conflicted life of criminal defense attorneys, who often find their idealism dashed by deceptive clients. Teen readers considering careers in the law will find this novel compelling reading.
