John Grisham is world famous for his best-selling legal thrillers.

As part of the book promotion, Grisham is sharing some of the facts about MTR with his 1.5 million Facebook fans if you’d like to follow along. The novel is currently at the top of the best-sellers list. We’re excited to welcome any new people who found this website or learned about the issue of mountaintop removal after reading his book!

    Fabulous book! Educational as well as riveting. You can see what an uphill battle we have in this country fighting against corporate profits at any cost! People who push mountaintop removal have no soul and no eye for beauty.
