A young New York lawyer finds herself volunteering in the legal aid service in Appalacia where poverty is pervasive and the big coal companies are ruining the environment, people's health and the communities. And finding it cheaper to fight the lawsuits than to reclaim the land after they have strip-mined the coal from it. If even a third of the threads about the coal industry are true it is a global and national shame. Not Grisham's best legal thriller, but a nice tale which encompasses the sage of Coal mining and poverty of rural Appalachia. His new lawyer isn't much of a heroin type and isn't necessarily very likable, but she is probably realistic of what a person with a lack of self confidence would be like in these situations. It indirectly points out many of the issues with the justice system and legal profession in our world. This was a book on CD for me and I would only give the reader a 3 of 5. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"The Great Recession of 2008 left many young professionals out of work. Promising careers were suddenly ended as banks, hedge funds, and law firms engaged in mass lay-offs and brutal belt tightening. Samantha Kofer was a third year associate at Scully & Pershing, New York City's largest law firm. Two weeks after Lehman Brothers collapsed, she lost her job, her security, and her future. A week later she was working as an unpaid intern in a legal aid clinic deep in small town Appalachia. There, for the first time in her career, she was confronted with real clients with real problems. She also stumbled across secrets that should have remained buried deep in the mountains forever" -- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
