Opis

In her debut novel, Misjudged, Gail Tusan Washington gives her readers an insider's view of some of the challenges of wearing a black robe. Judge Suzanne Vincent was a rising star at her Atlanta law firm when she was tapped to serve on the Atlanta District Court. Now she presides over the Family Docket where she rarely takes a break from the dysfunctional families that lawyers constantly dump into her judicial lap. Her chief judge wants her off the bench. Suzanne's effort to keep her seat forces her to deal publicly with what some call her record of misjudgment. Suzanne isn't spared her own personal drama. Her grandmother's unseemly death and mounting man issues only add to her problems. Bad gets worse when days before she is due to be reelected an eighteen-year-old secret turns her world upside down. Suzanne must make a far-reaching decision for which there is no legal precedent.
