Ford County, by John Grisham:
Hill country folk have their own way of dealing with life, death, and disaster in literary short story collection FORD COUNTY. Country boys whoop it up in Memphis; a con man sheds light on nursing home abuses; a low-level class-action lawyer escapes to the Caribbean. A mild-mannered man loses his wife to a huckster and gains her back by playing blackjack. An angered, grieving father kidnaps a defense lawyer; a death row inmate’s family witnesses his execution; a wealthy family’s AIDS-stricken son returns home to die and finds acceptance in a most unlikely place. Rich, poor. Black, white. Mississippi.
