john Grisham
On any given day in America thousands of infants are born but on February 8, 1955 in a small town in Arkansas named Jonesboro, one of the most famous modern day authors was born. John Grisham was born a poor child with four other siblings. His father was a cotton farmer and his mother a housewife. Young John loved the game of baseball and one day aspired to become the best baseball player that ever lived. His mother had other plans. Although she wasn't well educated she insisted that John excel in school (Bradstrom). After graduating high school in Southhaven, Mississippi, he went on to enroll, attend and play baseball at Northwest Mississippi Junior College in 1973. After attending this college for a year and becoming somewhat of a success in sports while failing miserably at academics he transferred to Delta State University. At the urging of one of his coaches he finally let go of the childhood dream of making it big in baseball and quit the team to concentrate on his studies. After finishing out the year he transferred to Mississippi State University in 1975. With the task of graduating at hand Grisham studied hard as an accounting major and graduated from MSU two years later. The last leg of his education was spent
Grisham now lives with his wife of sixteen years, Renee and has two teenage children Ty and Shea. During the beginning of his initial career he married Renee Jones (bookbrowse). John Grisham's works include:A Time to Kill. To say the least Grisham was inspired. These books are effective because of John's ability to bring into focus society's woes and makes life seem black and white. However, through perseverance he got his new book published a year later. Grisham had already begun work on the new book that would later make him a success. John never gave up his dream of making it big at baseball so when he became very wealthy from his books he built a little league complex for his kids (Brandstrom). Upon graduation, he began to practice law in his hometown. John began two novels while still in college that would never be published but his true inspiration came one day in a courtroom where he overheard testimony of the rape of a young girl whose father murdered the suspect. " That quote sums up John Grisham's entire life.
