The Accidental Lawyer

"The Accidental Lawyer" recounts some of the life of Ted Salveter, III. It is an account of growing up in the 40s and 50s as seen through the eyes of a boy who drifted into adulthood and ended up with an unplanned law degree. The boy is still there and wondering how he went so quickly from youth to geezer hood. He wasn't as screwed up as Houlden Caulfield, but his prep school and life experiences cause him to accept little, and question much. The book is personal and takes the reader through it in an interesting way. It is a humorous and touching account of a life worthy of being lived again. Of a kid who grew up thinking mostly of sports and playing, and who became a sometimes serious adult with a law degree who wasn't afraid to use it!
