Portia, A Lawyer for All Seasons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595409518)

Forty-year-old Portia Fraser practices law in Cascade City, a small Washington State community. For the past fifteen years, she's built up a substantial client base and has managed to balance her job with her family. But the upcoming months will test her limits, both professionally and personally .

Portia finds herself involved in a multitude of lawsuits, each one bringing its own challenge. When a sleazy lawyer named Seth Thompson hatches an evil scheme to cheat four orphans out of their inheritance, Portia calls on all her years of training to thwart him. But after successfully winning the case, she faces a personal dilemma brought on by her troubled marriage and her unfaithful husband. Facing mental and physical exhaustion, Portia travels to Paris to recuperate. There she meets and falls captive to the charms of a virile Frenchman, Henri, who makes her feel young again.

Her month-long sabbatical quickly ends when her husband is involved in an accident. Portia returns to America, divorces her husband, and dives back into her workload. But she cannot forget those few days in Paris that radically changed her perception of the world, and she wonders if life will ever be the same again .
