This is my least favorite Grisham to date. It is hard to believe that we're reading the same man who wrote those blockbuster legal thrillers. This work is just thrown together and the plot is extremely lame. It hinges on a major life change for main character Michael which is presented on shaky footing and never fully backed up to the reader. We just have to accept that he does a 180-degree change in character, since that is the basis for the entire novel.Grisham presents a fantasy world in which the citizens of DC rally around a homeless woman and our street lawyer changes the world for the better. What?! Since when does the plight of any homeless person ever make a blip on the news media's radar? The end of this book is pure "happily ever after" drivel that has no basis in reality. I didn't know Grisham was trying out the fantasy genre these days.
