Abstract

“Michael’s Room” is the most emotional story of the “Ford Country” story collection by John Grisham. The author paid attention to the psychological point of view of human being. The plot of the story is following: Stanley Wade is an attorney who is kidnapped at a convenience store by an imposing working-class man and his teenage son and driven into the wilds in the man's old pickup truck. At gunpoint, Wade is forced to walk down a deserted road with the man after the truck drops them off. The road leads to a ramshackle house, and in the back out the house is eleven-year-old Michael Cranwell, who is severely developmentally disabled. Stanley Wade was the attorney who successfully defended the incompetent, and possibly intoxicated, doctor who caused Michael's extensive birth defects. During the course of the trial Wade insisted that the doctor was a great and caring man, dismissing Michael and mocking the evidence of malpractice.
