 n<p>Summary:</p>\n<p>Violet Powell\, a twenty-two-year-old from rural Abbo
 tt Falls\, Maine\, is being released from prison after serving twenty-two 
 months for a drunk-driving crash that killed a local kindergarten teacher.
  Harriet Larson\, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club\
 , is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest. Frank Daigle\, a ret
 ired machinist\, hasn't yet come to grips with the complications of his ma
 rriage to the woman Violet killed. When the three encounter each other one
  morning in a bookstore in Portland-Violet to buy the novel she was readin
 g in the prison book club before her release\, Harriet to choose the next 
 title for the women who remain\, and Frank to dispatch his duties as the s
 tore handyman-their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways.</p>\n
