Here are three New Yearâs resolutions for Tennessee in 2018. Keep supplying hope. Pruitt has done a good job making Tennessee fans believe in him. The coaching search turned into a bit of a national joke, but the Vols might have found a rising coaching star.
Born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to a construction worker and a homemaker, John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. Realizing he didn't have the right stuff for a pro career, he shifted gears and majored in accounting at Mississippi State University.
The day after Grisham completed A Time to Kill, he began work on his second novel, The Firm, the story of an ambitious young attorney lured to an apparently perfect law firm that was not what it appeared. The Firm remained on The New York Times' bestseller list for 47 weeks, and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Beginning with A Painted House in 2001, Grisham broadened his focus from law to the more general rural South but continued to write legal thrillers. He has also written sports fiction and comedy fiction.
