But Leigh's ordinary life masks a childhood which was far from average ... a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of violence. Then a case lands on her desk-defending a wealthy man accused of rape. But when she meets the accused, she realizes that it's no coincidence that he's chosen her as his attorney.
