This is a real triumph over adversity story. It is a work of romance and fiction but none the worse for any of that. This is a story of a small man taking a very large insurance company to court on behalf of a very poor family and winning.

Our hero is a small-time lawyer who only just scraped his bar exam and is working for a dodgy firm. No luxuries or high salaries here. A family whose kid has leukemia is trying to claim on their insurance and being denied. Our hero takes them to court and ruins them.

This is a great story and very exciting. There are a couple of under-stories too and they are both well written and add a 3D image to our hero. It's a happy-ever-after story and it's great.
