Tales From Behind Law Office Doors

Book Cover Image

An intimate look inside the quirky world of law offices. Tyrant and tired litigators along with their devoted, though sometimes devious secretaries come to life in a series of stories punctuated by quick poetic jabs. The author's unintentional career in legal work spans over twenty-five years, from naïve clerk typist to stressed out secretary, to slightly elevated but no less conflicted office manager.

"What "The Nanny Diaries" did for babysitters this book does for clerical workers. Cutting chillingly to the bone...the combination of prose and poetry perfectly captures the spirit of a person trapped in a cubicle." Amazon Review

"An extraordinary work indeed. A rare look inside the human heart of unrecognized labor, made visible by Sara's forceful strokes of language." Joseph Matthews, Author, The Lawyer Who Blew Up His Desk (Ten Speed Press, 1998)

"Page after page, her humor and insights resonated with my twenty-five plus years in the legal secretary trenches. There's plenty here for anyone who's ever found themselves behind a desk, wondering how they got there." Lisa Simpson, Litigation Secretary

"It's as though there had been a translucent veil that kept me from truly seeing those who worked for me. After reading this book, the veil has lifted." Richard Duane, Attorney at Law
