Son Of A Bitch-Inspired by True Events

Immaturity, simmering anger, and years of therapy – budding defense attorney, Benjamin Scales owes it all to his mother.

She dragged him through hell while clawing her way to the top of the sexist, male-dominated legal profession, sacrificing everything to build a life for herself and her son – a bizarre and broken life, but a life. Under her ferocious veneer, Carter Scales is a shattered and lonely woman.

They haven’t spoken in years, but when she is caught in flagrante delicto with her star client, the leader of the notorious Salucci Crime Family, Carter turns to the one person she thinks should always have her back.

But why should he help her?

Really enjoyed this well-written book – finished it over a few days on vacation. I very much appreciated the storyline and the relationships among the characters. Good mix of humor, emotion and detail, and I liked the shifting of the timelines from current day to flashbacks. Some fantastic stories throughout the book. Highly recommended.

A great read.
Thought it was going to be a legal thriller but turned out to be an extremely fascinating story of a mother and son who went through some very tough times. Fortunately there is always humor even in the most difficult relationships. As lawyers they both were following the same highway but from different reference points. Very well written and a very interesting read. Sort of a legal “Hillbilly Elegy”. I recommend it.
