Summary

"A professor, addicted to the high of pregnancy and new motherhood, and her attorney husband teeter on the edge of mental and financial collapse in their interwoven pursuits of raising a rapidly growing family and defending their Midwestern city's most luckless criminals. A book that blends family memoir and crime narrative, and that covers all aspects of family life: pregnancy, child-rearing, marriage, career, finances, as well as harder topics like addiction and abortion"--, Provided by publisher
