I’d had the germ of this plot for years but could never seem to bring it into focus. It wasn’t a Sigrid Harald situation, but what if I gave it to a young Southern attorney? Or what if it were a district court judge? Or an attorney running for judge? Before I knew it, Deborah Knott strolled into my head and began telling this story. I shall always be grateful to Sara for giving me a chance to “test-drive” Deborah’s first-person voice before tackling Bootlegger’s Daughter.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Cover design: Andrea Maron)\u003cbr\u003e(Cover graphic: © 2012 Joe Maron)","brand":"Maron \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079647609072,"sku":"2940013670792","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013670792_p0.jpg?v=1763583778","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013670792","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
