The Last Juror by John Grisham

If you are looking for a great legal thriller to read, I would suggest you pick up a copy of The Last Juror by John Grisham. I started reading it and didn't want to put it down until I finished it.

The Last Juror is about a man named Willie Traynor, who accepted the job as the owner of the only newspaper in Ford County, which was in Clanton. He wrote an article about the murder of a young mother, who had two children. Her children witnessed the crime.

Racism and Christianity were the themes of the book. Willie Traynor was white, and he became friends with a black woman named Callie. Miss Callie was a Christian and wanted to invite Willie to church because she wanted to witness to him. She wanted to make sure that he was going to heaven. She also invited him over to her house to have dinner on Thursday evening with her family. Throughout the book, the author revealed their relationship and how she wanted to witness to Willie. Willie enjoyed spending time with Miss Callie and her family even though they were black.
 
You'll have to read the book to find out what happened to the jurors and the other characters.

Announcement

My computer was down since I last posted and article, but it is finally working. I have trouble when it shuts off, so I'm hoping it will stay on until I can afford to get a new one.

I'm starting again to post my articles as often as possible.

Thanks,

Janet
