The publication of a new John Grisham novel is always an exciting event. His most recent novel, published earlier this year, is not an exception. The novel, “Sooley,“ tells the story of a 17-year-old South Sudanese boy, Samuel Sooleymon, who is selected to play in a basketball tournament in the United States.
