À propos de cet audio

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Compelling . . . another timely tale from John Grisham. [The Street Lawyer] shows not only that Grisham has his finger on the public pulse but that he’s also out to prick its conscience.”—Chicago Tribune

Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was no more than three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience.

Then a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived, but his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging and learned that his attacker was a mentally ill veteran who’d been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney.

The fast track derailed, the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer. And a thief.

Our small city is plagued with homelessness. I often hear the comments from passer buyers. Any thing from disgust to sarcastic remarks.
I don’t know what the answer is. People don’t wake up one day and decide it would be fun to be homeless. People with addictions, don’t think they are going to get hooked on drugs or alcohol when they try it for the first time, and I seriously know, that people with mental health issues, don’t enjoy it. Many, who suffer from neither, just fall short on their luck. This is not their fault. In Canada, mental health care is for the rich and famous.
I hope one day, an answer is found, on how to help the plight of these poor victims!
This book offers insight to the problems. I am not aware of any such legal help in our town, we have one shelter that I know of.
Thanks for opening my eyes!

Wonderful Story
