"My name is Carrie Goldberg and I'm a victims' rights lawyer. Some people all me a 'passionate advocate' or a 'social justice warrior.' I'd rather be called a ruthless motherfucker. I operate my firm, C.A. Goldberg, PLLC, with one fundamental rule: if one of my clients has been harmed, somebody must pay. It's as simple as that. "

Damn right.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Happy Reading,
Sarah

  5. A first paragraph from me this week [grin]:

    "For our drive into northern Iraq, Dr Azar Mirkhan changed from his Western clothes into the traditional dress of a Kurdish Peshmerga warrior: a tight fitting, short woolen jacket over his shirt, baggy pantaloons, and a wide cummerbund. He also thought to bring along certain accessories. These included a combat knife that tucked neatly into the waist of his cummerbund, a loaded .45 automatic and sniper binoculars. Should matters turn particularly ticklish, his M4 assault rifle lay within easy reach on the backseat, with extra magazines in the footwell. The doctor shrugged. 'It's a bad neighborhood'"

  6. Happy Saturday!

    Yesterday on my blog I shared the first line from The Painted Castle by Kristy Cambron: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/10/17/first-line-friday-106/. I'm currently reading Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard, so I'll share a line from that book.

    "For some reason he would never understand, Heath always ended up assisting someone in the direst of circumstances."

    Hope you're having a good weekend! 🙂❤📖
