Hailing from Freeman County, Virginia, Jack Lee is a Caucasian attorney who has never taken a stand against racial prejudice. His life takes a turn when he chooses to defend Jerome Washington, an African American man accused of the heinous murder of an elderly white couple. Lee is plagued by doubts about his decision and fears that his legal expertise may not suffice in a case where the odds are heavily against him and his client. He soon realizes that the stakes are much higher than just the verdict of a murder trial.
Desiree DuBose, an African American attorney from Chicago, has dedicated her life to advancing justice and equality for all. She arrives in Freeman County and forms a tumultuous partnership with Lee to fight a legal battle against the Commonwealth’s top prosecutor. DuBose is cognizant of the external forces trying to undermine the achievements of the Civil Rights era.
Despite their stark differences, Lee and DuBose realize that they cannot prevent the prosecution’s calculated progression towards a guilty verdict and capital punishment on their own. United, they strive for what once seemed unattainable: a fair trial and genuine justice.
Thankfully I’m enjoying my current book (A Calamity of Souls) a lot more than my previous book (Gone Girl).
