365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #14: Just The Facts

After reading the description for this book, I don't think it's that unrealistic for someone who has an English degree to end up becoming a reporter. Because wouldn't that actually help in being able to write a good article.

Regardless, this seems like an interesting book that I would like to read.

Book: Just The Facts by Ellen Sherman

Description:

When English major Nora Plowright finds herself staring at college graduation as if at the edge of a cliff, she decides to become a newspaper reporter—and right away, she manages to get a job at a local paper (which you could still do in 1978). Although fearful by nature, Nora pursues a tip from a stranger and soon is investigating corruption at the Maryland State Highway Authority regarding the controversial placement of a major freeway. The developing scandal, with its shady “players,” tests both her budding reportorial skills and her appetite for danger. Also, her passion for storytelling makes it increasingly difficult for her to stick to the facts.

Honest and humorous, Just the Facts is a coming-of-age novel about finding one’s way in the real world that will resonate with anyone who has struggled with figuring out what to do when she or he grows up.
