A Minor Fall
Author: Price Ainsworth
Publisher: SelectBooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1590794184
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The Minor Fall is a modern interpretation of an Old Testament saga. Davy Jessie is a young, personal injury trial lawyer working as an associate in a top-drawer law firm in Houston, Texas in 2005. In addition to trying difficult (sometimes impossible to win) cases assigned to him by the firm, Davy also assists Tim Sullivan (one of the named partners in the firm) in prosecuting more serious cases. Sullivan is a flamboyant, fashionable, facile at formulating a memorable turn of phrase, philandering litigator with a long history of trial victories and the material rewards that a contingency fee practice can yield. Davy is enamored with Sullivan and attempts to emulate Sullivan’s professional (and personal) behavior. After Davy wins one of the cases he was not expected to win, Sullivan designates Davy to lead the firm’s efforts in representing a group of landowners in eastern Kentucky whose properties have been contaminated by oil field production. Beth Sheehan, a contract lawyer hired by the firm to help with discovery on the case, travels to Kentucky with Davy where they have a brief affair, Davy returns to find that his wife Michelle is pregnant. The fallout from the affair and the stress of preparing the case send Davy spiraling into depression and emotional paralysis. Along the way down to his moral crisis, Davy contemplates existential questions about the nature of law, the importance of literature, the existence of God, and what (if anything other than single malt Scotch or cold chardonnay) gives meaning to life as he considers losing his wife, leaving the law firm, and abandoning the practice of law.

Book Description
It is a land of turbulence and intrigue, yet inundated with tranquility and serenity, of majestic hills and sterile deserts, of grassy plains and forests thick with trees. A land teaming with wildlife, with skies darkened by endless flights of birds, and with streams and rivers and mighty lakes of pure freshwater. It is where the Spanish soldiers of fortune force themselves upon the native peoples in search of gold. Where French explorers push into the interior on the water highways. Men like Cadillac, Cartier, Champlain, LaSalle, and Marquette spread their cultural influence on the many peoples of the land. Where Swedes, English, Dutch, Portuguese, and other Europeans seek to extract the wealth of the bountiful land. Caught between these powers is a population of diverse societiessome with strong social structures and laws, and many facing external pressures with which they cannot cope, ancient peoples who called this land their home for many, many years. The Five Nations of Iroquois exist with a truly representative form of government, unwritten rules that guide their everyday lives and affect all neighboring peoples and a completely volunteer military that enforces council decisions.
