Seth Hubbard is a private man that no one really knows and his grown children will have nothing to do with. After two divorces that have left him broke and discouraged, he finds a way to build a small fortune, but no one really knows how much wealth he has really accumulated. When his doctor tells him he only has a few weeks to live, he writes a handwritten will and hangs himself from a Sycamore tree on an isolated piece of his property.
The new handwritten will creates a firestorm when the majority of his wealth is left to his black maid and his adult children are forced to fight for what they feel rightfully belongs to them. The new will also leaves a whole community wondering what would compel Seth to change his will at the last minute before he takes his own life.
As usual, John Grisham builds a suspenseful story that keeps you wondering and speculating throughout the story.
