The true story of a young lawyer's impossible legal battle to stop the federal government from foreclosing on thousands of family farmers.
What The Reviewers Say
Vogel tells the remarkable story of her improbable legal victory against the federal government.
Vogel is a gifted writer, weaving history, politics and vivid descriptions of the people and landscape with personal challenges like her financial turmoil as a single mother in a male-dominated field. Both in court and in this book, Vogel is able to bring the farmers she works with fully to life, including the devastating heartbreaks they experience.
Vogel spins an engaging, suspenseful, and often heartbreaking account of her bumbling performances as an untested trial lawyer.
Feisty.
