Legal Thriller, based on TRUE STORY of a Young Lawyers Journey into Underground World of Corruption (Draft in Progress)
In a shocking expose, Attorney Leslie Frank pulls back the curtain on her state Bar's disciplinary system, revealing a web of corruption, intimidation, and retaliation against lawyers who threaten the establishment. With candid vulnerability, Attorney Leslie Frank recounts her own harrowing experience, where she found herself targeted for her outspoken advocacy and large public following.
Through meticulous documentation and dogged determination, Attorney Leslie Frank uncovered a pattern of misconduct within the Bar, including extortion, evidence tampering, and a deliberate campaign to discredit attorneys who challenge the status quo. She details how the Bar manipulates public perception by selectively publishing damaging filings while suppressing responses and evidence of innocence.
Attorney Leslie Frank's investigation led her to connect with disbarred attorneys, finding that many were silenced for their whistleblowing efforts rather than any legitimate misconduct. She realized that the system is designed to punish those who expose its flaws, rather than uphold justice or protect the public.
With her own freedom and reputation on the line, Attorney Leslie Frank made the agonizing decision to strategically play along with the Bar, feigning cooperation and contrition in a desperate bid to prevent her own silencing. Yet, she knew that as long as she held her license, the truth would remain suppressed.
This explosive memoir is a call to arms for transparency and reform within the legal profession. Attorney Leslie Frank's battle serves as a stark reminder that the fight for justice often begins within the justice system itself. Will her courage inspire a movement, or will the forces of corruption prevail?

Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information.
For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer.
What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior?
With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late?
Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.
