In the Game

Peggy Garrity began her life as a small-town Irish Catholic girl in the Midwest. Initially convent-bound she became determined to escape a life like her mother's and in the mid-1970s she reinvented herself as a high-profile Los Angeles trial lawyer and single mother of four. At a time when there were virtually no women solo practitioners she represented David against Goliath--and risked it all in the process. Including compelling courtroom dramas featuring would-be presidential assassin Sara Jane Moore celebrities Clint Eastwood Sondra Locke and Cheryl Tiegs and some of Los Angeles's most notorious murder cases <i>In the Game</i> is the groundbreaking story of a thrill-seeking solo trial lawyer--and single mother--who beat the odds at a time when working mothers especially those in male-dominated professions like the law faced the gauntlet of discrimination.
