---

Ray Atlee is a professor of law at the University of Virginia. He's forty-three, newly single, and still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. He has a younger brother, Forrest, who redefines the notion of a family's black sheep.

He is known to all as Judge Atlee, a beloved and powerful official who has towered over local law and politics for forty years.
