Somewhere a Tree Grows

He was the smartest lawyer in New York at the mid 20th century. He was the senior partner in the largest law firm. He was well intended and betrothed into a power family. He was destined to fail! She was a simple girl! If girls or women are ever simple? She was very shy and withdrawn. She lived in a small cottage with her quirky but highly intelligent inventor father. Her mother had died at a young age…or so she was informed. What began as an innocent requirement by a law firm for a stenographer/typist would have a finality uncommon to most interludes. Would she meet with an ending which would send him to the electric chair or would he prove it to be an accident? Or was this nothing more than a dream fulfilling her own doubts of her self-confidence which often led her to stay late at night on the job to perfect the job for which she was hired but could never complete to her satisfaction. Come with me as we see her caring for an elderly father, brilliant but uncaring about the feelings of his only child, caring only for his work and the unrealistic dreams of accomplishment. Into the mix, a powerful lawyer sees the potential of the patents and covets them through a union with the daughter. Could he use his legal knowledge and his money to fund a corporation bringing the patents to fruition ow will it be more advantageous to witness the old man's demise?
