Sycamore Row

I just finished "Sycamore Row" by John Grisham. It is a sequel of his first novel,  "A Time To Kill". It is the story of a small town Mississippi Lawyer played in the movie by Matthew McConaughey.  The new book takes place two years after the first book in 1988.  A reclusive man in the community hangs himself and leaves behind a hand written will and names the lawyer as the executor.  The will leaves an unexpected giant fortune to his black housekeeper while leaving his kids and family nothing.

This is a story of family greed, misunderstandings, gossip and all.  I is a typical great read and I highly recommend it.  This story like "12 Years A Slave" has a very uncomfortable view of our society at its worst.

There are many great lessons to be found.
