(1124) The Firm by John Grisham

Mitch graduated at the top of his Law class, yet he chose to work for a questionable firm under investigation. In the end he co-operated with the investigators and ended up having to run away. He successfully rescued his blood brother from detention and managed to disappear together with his wife as three fugitives in the high sea.

I have had no such exciting experience myself. But a friend of mine did once upon a time thought her husband was going to kill her. She ran! Interestingly it was people closest to him who helped her retrieve her "effects". Then her close friends helped her to transport those boxes from his home town to her hometown.

I met her as a neighbour more than 10 years ago. She was very suspicious then and it took me a while to draw close to her. Perhaps because I love to write stories and she loves to write poems, we see eye to eye about many things in life. If we ever get to collaborate together, we may be able to alternate chapters on our favourite topics: special education and marriage.
