The Rainmaker - John Grisham

Another gem from Grisham! Rudy Baylor has just finished law school. As a class assignment, his class offers free legal advice to seniors. Rudy gets lucky when a couple approaches his table about an insurance company problem. Their son has leukemia but the company will not pay for a bone marrow transplant, even though this procedure is not specifically excluded from the policy. Rudy is up against the richest firm in Memphis. Rudy and his "paralawyer" partner execute many cute plans, such as to ensure them the jury that they want, etc. Unfortunately, there is a side-plot with a love story - not John's strong suit. But the court stuff is really good and the story is heartwarming - you really want the little guy to win!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Give Grisham a chance!
