A Word on Words; 2725; Lisa Scottoline

once again welcome to a word on words a mistaken identity ali's novel welcome to world war l i think it right to do that back well i'm i'm glad to be back bay a result i mean i have to get before we get to be in a and there's this really bizarre mystery story you have spun here i have to ask you how does it feel to be known in national magazines newspapers promoting this book as the female john grisham well at first i thought like i was cross dressing up it was very strange at first but but i actually called my mother because i'm still i didn't get off among their people magazines and the female generation but i think it's really become one but i feel strange about it and she said to me honey when someone throws you a rose you should catch ah ah ah ah and i think you write

many songwriters similar overlooked for the call a value either look for the green only can mean more more money but already so up to the roof well thank you i think it would be what people had to say was on a former lawyer at every fast paced books about lawyers that's really what they meant an end another added their praise as much as i want to and that's where i must say the regime mr duncan of a plot that comes close the way they had been in a well thank you indent in iran's like a family that could be well that's the other the less common than just for a second gaze italian american in lisa's of it where they operate out of gas you operate your native of death ms laurie you rewarding her is that you knew

somewhere on the right how much of your salary is seriously how much of yourself to put and nine one is i don't you know so is taller is smarter is naturally wander mean she is she's really are not have as gussy abroad as she is and is not accuse me a hundred drafts to be that you'd see i'm so i think i was a pretty good lawyer i hope is good lawyers she isn't says i guess i mean to do the things she does the courtroom maybe i am i think she is as loyal and the loyalty is it is mine m night i really enjoyed being a lawyer and what i like most about it was that i represented someone and i should've had a little bit of a protective since i was in i was in i was the last line of friends and they have to go through me to get them and she has that in her she assured us that she's a bulldog listen she is tough she's very tough and very self confident

and it's a it's a female affirmed genomes an armed every sense of the myth about your mama and i since before you get real mom i sense a different personality this bomb obviously she's aged obviously when they're our ways which will be around kicking around the next book written problem for many but she was a nice years person listen you here now right about that i think it may be an analyst think you're right so that's it and i i i know as the as you know the mother's is aging but also has deals with depression and they probably and i and my experience with that common in

people i know in my family is that you know it's almost like turning something in light you see different angles to sell all the time the illness prevents the bad from coming through by this woman in the fictional has had a lot of treatment and although she's incapacitated i hope there's a sweetness in her or at least in their relationship and the daughter being the caretaker in the mother being the care for as opposed to the more conventionally orleans one the band had when she was younger that comes out and she brings out the best in very ironic way and they will need the mother which is i think in chapter two so she almost all the issues upright she's almost catatonic they are shias and you got a pretty much out of it and she can't tell she can't tell benny one that he wants to know right that's right at one day wants to know is the big secret rank and the big secret will share with our viewers the big secret there were secret is how the story ends

in and one show well you know hillary will be clean within is a man they walked into this the cell and into this place of incarceration in one's face to face in the mirror differences but similarities yes then this woman charged with with murder is under twenty and it once was you date only i made only in and learn what a story where'd that come well

i hope so and it warned that idea go well actually be honest with you it's not that my door you in this is as a job i yeah it turns out just about two and a half years ago and i found out that i have a half sister that i didn't know about armed he's and she wasn't gill i think you know i hope it is but i mean it was a very strange experience it was the prize given a fairly in the marriage that i did know about and it won her and she was given up for adoption to a wonderful life as it turns out and when she when her adoptive father died she decided as many adoptees do to find her birth family

surprise and so i opened the door i saw somebody that had my father's eyes and i thought i was the only person at my father's eyes and it was a bear it was kind of a very interesting experience as a lease now many here get time mother and as sharon this location thousands of an aria she now able to write right so many is struggling with words reality question mark yes i mean i try to put myself and in its place and i'm not sure that i would not a walk out of there and put the whole thing behind me at least i think i might have refused you're a prisoner but i know

it you didn't because it makes one great security but i gather representing those pressing route and she's wrong to the idea that this is her that this is what i think your position is is actually reasonable and her baby's lover in the book they are altogether sensible carrying sensitive man who says are you out of your mind and and of course he's right too at issue again very chilled benny chills a little bit in this book yes yes she's a single minded i mean i've represented my family and an ever present my father actually and i'm very close to my father now everyone the world's only that was really improved and when i got and what people are really telling the wonder is wrong of course the right eye when here and i freeze about so i gave that stubbornness to many it it's

really the decision she makes is illustrative of character like the character really matters in a box and everything actually informs characters as soon as she decides to represent a woman who says i may be a twin and i by the way i'm not a murderer it tells you something about her interaction a lot about and so it may not be a decision you would make but it is consistent with her character make that decision and then and then she put everything else a law firm and nothing's sun is more important than this woman who maybe are sisters who probably has a sister when her mind is your sister nothing is more important than getting off and engages in visible dog anyway anytime she goes all right her reputation of courthouses she comes in here they are the very strong fusion where i mean prosecutors have learned or lyft

as a result of your books at the mosque is of one arm waited many can be very tough inner core on as a little taste of judicial corruption here and then talk about that where that idea came from well i was really struck i don't think you get is a unintelligible if we were terrific third circuit annals of a staple equipment and you cannot get better judges than the ones i knew in and the ones i've met on the other hand what taxpayers tommy is the judges are people too and i like very much to sort of show in the novel that all these people are fully fleshed out characters and never really trying to do in addition to writing these entertaining up

on so the judges shouldn't be somewhat separate just as you know in the criminal justice system where the civil justice system should be something separate it's ours it belongs to us and so will they know that it will know the judges have faults and by says there is no wait wow i can tell you a corrupt judge of the ashley philadelphia did have a judicial corruption scandal about fifteen years ago there's no lawyer who many lawyers will tell you and says they get the judge assigned to the case they know which with them come out now why is that it's not because the crop it's because we know the virus they're pro plaintiff the pro defense and they and they reveal the prejudices in and at the trial level have a very wide discretion issue now celebrated it if your reputation and a nickname its maximum johns river that it may invest in these godless at me you know it's going to be tough for you of your alderman ehrlichman mitchell you will in the end be fodder for maximum john that's

right this judge found many really suspected of links with former associates and it's sort of gets in a way bothers her he has a feeling she being that this is an additional step to climb before daddy gets fairness for a car the tribal action at an enemy's to with certain that they did just discussion of the hardest working people i'm really go so it's for that reason that i like to play with in the book as benny gets into this defensive this woman and is all the time wondering is this woman murder and is this one night when she is come to the point where she believes that the woman may be her twin just believe that the woman is probably one of the more loathsome creatures on the planet and that the woman may have committed other murders but not this one because of the crooked conspiracy she begins to sense so then you have to question if

you've committed famers but not the one you're being tried for is justice if you go free or is it just as if you were president and i think that's our initial question i'm you know i'm curious how people react to that and i think it will make him think somewhere in the noble will end i hope that most of them come down on the side of your innocent or everything heroes and four whether or not you're found guilty of hers and we're guilty but but it's not it's not an easy question now and i wonder when you pose in the way you've posted a year ago she is also and i despise their she's also extremely minute when they first meets are there is there a difference and it is mainly cosmetic difference of the day they walked into that courtroom she

is days where they are i mean the jury looks up there and they're the two i'm right that right ann and alice manipulate that situation alice manipulated and it seems to me that there are times one or the client you're really making life tough tough for floyd who's follows a request an attractive lure so it's a really great job of not for the clients i mean they make it hard and in this book you say we have an example then she really i think i'm a little bit like a character almost like a computer programmer in the sense that they behave the way that they behave in a way that is consistent with character and when she set them in motion the beginning they're going to do the things they do so many will forge ahead and persevere and make mistakes and be a human being and her counterparts will on your backs and be

selfish and not listen and get worse and given that all things are going to do they have to mention some point and move the story forward i should write an outline i don't if i did i would be getting to these buyers but you write you knew where you were all evil twin when you thought of it i honestly didn't think i had the premise that averages six books in every single one of them is what would happen next what would happen next what would the people around her do what would the main character you know you're going to well at some point i said geez should i think it was and the mother had had this lingering illness and from my research for depression experience with it i knew that she couldn't last much longer the more posh the near mythic human emotion wins would prefer him from my now it's like to go mano such a loving caring woman in other books she was

a semi vegetable and well it was a it was actually hard to midnight i felt really bad dream and i let you felt that tried it i felt bad for her and i thought you just took this woman and twisted you know i really didn't do it tolly unlikable vegetable well if you've ever spent time with a win is clinically depressed there are times when they are extremely unlikable and let's talk about beliefs to associate who produced for a walk but one of them is not really sure where she belongs and practice will rank mr wright oh this might sound sexist put a certain amount in the swat me i'd no law is and i have a sense that i know so women who after in practice really weren't sure or maybe there is

there are a couple of men i've known over the years who felt that same way but i am i wrong who do young women lawyers have self doubts more than their male counterparts look but my sense is that they do and that's why i like the character of mary because when you have somebody as tough as nails like bennie is an ending that she has a softer side she is there's not doubt herself and mary's full of self doubt very much that she sees things a lot better lawyer than she thinks but i think there are a lot of women like that i think there's a lot of men like that to maybe win or confessional about it i don't know but i know that she stays in for lots of lawyers the limelight me now and say i i you know emailing they hate my job huckabee writer enjoy it and certainly the incidence of alcoholism in substance abuse among lawyers is rising news there's something wrong there

something happening and hartnett is dissatisfaction with that as a profession with their expectations not being met or being disillusioned idea that the job as a new rocket so all male it is mostly a male world and their and this is not universally more but there are mostly males on the bench they're mostly males in the same positions on the other side when you go back in on their mostly males if you're the prosecutor cited the district attorney's office at the top again it's changing but the seeds and easy to say look in a major law firm then the ceiling is still there and that's true and i said that i think that has been a factor and it's clearly a factor it crunch time because women have babies and so that women have that are presented their starkly with the choice the primary caretaker that's what is guam or you can go back to work and end trying to deal with all of that it's hard

now in this case i think you know i can tell you when some point i knew there was going to be our hero heroic saying and wishy redeem herself you created that situation and four and the shadow system of the spotlight on the near well yes you know one of the lines i can't say i know the ipo did not i did not get on the big secret of the michigan our water i knew i knew how to act of heroism by its self doubt in young woman who was struggling with herself and really

was about to drop out it's really and i can't say it is as if they don't remember there was a plan which i said you know what because what happens is bugs and benny is knocked off kilter by this personal information as i was and it did so it's destabilizing know in my life my family i'm in my my marriage has changed my career has changed but my family is fixed my family's the constellations until you find out that it's not so good so you have a main character who's off kilter and that is i should have started a sensor on the little book is a little treats vacuum somebody has to step in and marry the self doubt or steps in because that it never existed before sometimes it's a symbiotic you can't be stronger if somewhat around you has always been strong when they get weak you step up and so then it can actually know how would happen but it actually seemed to break a slate of opening and then let's talk about your puppet let's talk about

this man is a comeback intellectual it was cement i don't know it again i wondered whether whether the way you saw existed on for free part time is really behind the veil and the new legacy for them a little bit but i had a sense that you know in the same again i i might mean i think impart what the book's about is what his family is literally no ad and how you define family barely has a strict i think it's very italian values blood and to even interview will it produces a little monster person then you have to be nice and his ear for generously someone who's not blood isn't family matter how terrific they are he's got a revised that little father's blood but he is not a very good father his view of love is very strange

so i know what's up with him in a comeback will be used to interesting character you know there is life before mistaken identity was built around most single parenthood you had been a very strong force on in two front of better now very weak and i then suddenly this woman i have lived longer so that they will suddenly he is he's a liar he lied maneuver our life about some very very very important and i am and you didn't let me know enough about him

to tell whether i like imitate him and frankly i liked him a little bit just a little bit because he was back he was a manipulator and sell fear and you know he was but some behind st watching be interesting to see will you remember i was doing it right he polices be a good father be very light colored animal so there you know but out and he's obviously had his eye on bove allison day for a while yes the us and in a way he has been taking care of them there are tried i'll say this the best thing you could possibly do would allow us abundantly with him when she knew she had the best lawyers she could possibly get let's talk a few minutes the left and two or three that about

you are intellectual decimated in no we're actually isn't really an airmail hero oh i like that very low is very interested in beni beni beni some vacation good for you what for you then house was the minute you put air in there in those involved role and then suddenly he comes on as the tiger and now and now i'm going to switch to marry know why you would say i had no family you really tough broads and i went out and i married now will and so when it's giving that isn't a man who framed himself from or die to protect his daughter tragically says lawyer that he's guilty when he's really innocent and mary's than a fine amount so it's really a lawyer and then the woman who is a force along with him i'm

fighting each other for his innocence the nose that's a sneak preview they got like a wake you to come back and singing and our viewers out there any time who love benny and they come to love mary ann lab then what would i want for receive initial and maybe right when i never seem like usc and you're going to say oh yes you are ah well afford to do that that it's a listen listen great signal it's coming up with the grey thank you very much for you next time
