This humorous memoir is a wonderful narration about an ill prepared newly minted lawyer starting a law practice from scratch in the Napa Valley who ropes himself into nasty small town politics resulting in his being elected mayor. He relates overcoming a number of interesting antagonists, including the only other lawyer in town, a sadistic local newspaper publisher, a bullying deputy district attorney, a 300 pound psychiatrist without a clue, and a lying double crosser who he got elected to city-council.
