About the book
The Green Mile #3 Paul Edgecombe has been suffering with a bladder infection for some time that hasn't cleared. It is in this book that Paul discovers that John Coffey can heal with his touch. Eduard Delacroix has been teaching Mr. Jingles tricks and is quite attached to the mouse--almost as much as guard Percy Wetmore despises it.
