Riverton Readers: Mad Honey
This casual book discussion is open to all. Stop by Riverton Library any time before the event to check out your copy of the book, while supplies last. This month's selection is Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan.
Olivia McAfee, a professional beekeeper and single mother, fled Boston and an abusive husband to try to give her son, Asher, a better life in small-town New Hampshire. Things go well for their first 12 years in Adams. Asher is a well-liked senior and captain of the high school hockey team; he barely remembers his abusive father; he and his mother have a great relationship; and he's preparing to go off to college. Then he meets Lily Campanello, a new girl who, like his mother, has fled a troubled past. Things get very serious quickly; then, one afternoon after they've had a fight, Asher finds Lily dead at the bottom of her basement stairs. Before he even has time to grieve, he's arrested and charged with her murder. (Kirkus Reviews)
