The College of Coastal Georgia "Big Read"

The moment True Grit was published, it earned great acclaim as a classic Western tale.

Ever since, readers of all ages and have fallen in love with Mattie Ross, as she recounts her youthful quest to avenge the murder of her father with the aid of a rough federal marshal named Rooster Cogburn. True Grit has been chosen as The Big Read, an initiative that hopes to unite communities through great literature inspire students to become life-long readers.
