I really enjoyed this story and recommend it for anyone that has chosen to be a career mom or dad, living the legacy of a family tradition, deciding to put their lives on hold for that 'special moment' instead of creating the moments.
All the characters were very real and I enjoyed them, even the miserable pain the ass colleagues. They had their place in the story. I thought the legal storylines were true and gave you a sense of the hard choices needed to be successful in this industry.
Nick had to be placed on Pro Bono work to be shown another side of life that he had dreamt of but never thought of achieving. The beginning of a journey that threw him every curve ball thought of but what amazing strength to get through it, very touching.
I think Brian Cohen did a great job with his debut book and can see this kind of story being his niche. I enjoyed reading an adult fiction novel from a men's perspective.
Overall, I thought this was a very good love story with legal drama and the way to deal with unfortunates of life.

And there it finally was. The faceless picture I had had in my mind for so many years was no longer faceless. The blanks were filled in.
No matter what the future rings, I thought, my legacy is intact. pg. 247… (plus d'informations)
