A whimsical warmhearted autobiography of a twelve-year-old who became a great trial lawyerThe oldest of four children in a prototypical Irish Catholic family, Pierce O' Donnell recounts growing up in a village with more cows than residents with his WWII-hero father, who owns the only liquor store; his intellectual mother, the librarian; his spinster aunt, the local postmaster; his three younger sisters; and a ghost named Nora. Last Pick adroitly conjures up a bygone era in which this young boy' s biggest concerns were making the Little League Team (he never did), not freezing to death delivering a newspaper, making Eagle Scout, and learning Latin as a reluctant altar boy allergic to incense. This self-deprecating story of a determined, well-meaning underdog will delight O' Donnell' s fellow Baby Boomers and enchant younger generations for years to come with its witty and timeless humor.
Pierce O' Donnell is one of the foremost trial lawyers in America and a bestselling author. In a storied career spanning a half century, he has won numerous landmark decisions that have changed the law. In Last Pick, we are transported back to his boyhood to learn what made him the dynamic, bigger-than-life man who has championed the rights of the voiceless and vulnerable, while writing six acclaimed books, a feature film, and a stage play. Pierce lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife Carmen.
