New Life
“Jules asked. “Because I have no doubt in my mind that you are.” My mentor was great at bolstering confidence and soothing fluttering nerves.
I nodded. “Absolutely.” And I realized I meant it. I was fully prepared to present our case and “squeeze”
the juice company until it was willing to settle.
In court, I was very calm as I described conditions at the bottling plant and told about the E. coli outbreak that had been traced back to Grandpa’s Old-Fashioned Grape Nectar.
