Now she is an unpaid intern in a legal aid clinic deep in small-town Appalachia.
When Lehman Brothers collapsed, she lost her job, her security, her future.
As she confronts real clients with real problems, she finds herself a world away from her past life of corporate fat cats and fatter bonuses.
This is coal country. Meth country.
The law is different here.
And standing up for the truth means putting your life on the line. America's greatest storyteller brings us a new masterpiece of legal courage and gripping suspense - and his finest heroine since The Pelican Brief.
