When Misery Is Trite

by Angeline Blake

Julianne doesnâ€t want much, just the ability to write a highly acclaimed screenplay which would make her very wealthy, as well as the capacity to capture the affections of a remarkable man who will adore her. Her most recent prospect, a brilliant litigator named Jake, simply wants to win the difficult securities fraud trial that has put 25 million dollars as well as his pride on the line. Jakeâ€s young associate wants only to be able to speak. These three Chicagoans travel to a small Texan town for the highly publicized trial; yet, ultimately, it is their own natures that are played out, challenged, and adjudicated on stage of the Texas court.
