DESCRIPTION:
"A Trailblazer gets her Priorities Straight" according to Bella Ellers. I loved this book. Getting an inside look at this top legal media star was a fabulous experience. As one of the first female and one of the best criminal lawyers, Rikki Klieman unabashedly shares her goals, her path, and her heart with readers.

It appears the first thing she did is write an honest book that should appeal to women trying to have it all. How very postfeminist." Not to worry. "I was faced with moving my life to another coast without a clue as to what I was going to do, with no security except the love of my husband," she writes. Inappropriately titled (there's little magic in Klieman's descriptions of 20-hour workdays and the chronic tension that found her routinely vomiting on Sunday nights before another week of work at the intense Boston law firm Choate, Hall), Klieman's tale isn't exactly one of a poor girl being rescued by a handsome prince.

"Girls don't go to law school," she told him."No, but women do."From there, it was just a little more than a decade until a thirty-five-year-old Rikki was named one of America's top five female trial attorneys by Time magazine for her work in criminal defense, one of the toughest branches of law for a woman to enter.She defended clients ranging from accused drug smugglers to media moguls to well-meaning Christian Scientists Ginger and David Twitchell, whose beliefs were put on trial after the death of their child.
