The Divorce Papers

The Divorce Papers / Susan Rieger 461 pgs.

Anne Sophie Diehl is an up and coming criminal lawyer and an established firm and is happily dealing with her clients when a woman walks in needing a divorce and nobody else is there for the intake interview.  Of course Mia likes Sophie and wants her to handle the case even though she doesn't know anything about family law. Well, this walk in isn't just ANYBODY, she is the daughter of long-time client and local rich business man Mr. Meiklejohn.  Sophie gets roped into this case but learns a lot along the way as she and Mia build a relationship.  The novel is told in memos, emails and filings.  It is amusing in places and sad in others.  Jane, the 10 year old daughter of the soon to be uncoupled couple has a hard time understanding the situation while, at the same time, being wise beyond her years.  Many memories and still unresolved issues from her own parent's divorce decades ago resurface for Sophie as she deals with the legal issues as well as the emotional issues of her client's situation.
