Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult (PB/GC)
Award winning author of MY SISTER'S KEEPING
Jack St. Bride went from being a well-respected teacher at a girls' prep school to a pariah in a heartbeat, when a student falsely accused him of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with her.
Charged with statutory rape and facing several years in prison, Jack's defense attorney suggested that he take a plea bargain instead of going to trial. Although accepting responsibility for a crime he didn't commit did not sit well with Jack, after carefully considering the alternative, he decided to take the deal.
After having served his time, Jack vows to start his life over. In the small town of Salem Falls, where nobody knows him, he lands a job as a dishwasher at the local diner.
Diner owner, Addie Peabody, catches Jack's eye, but after what he just went through he doesn't dare initiate a relationship.
Instead he tries to keep his distance, but soon Addie's sunny personality and gentle demeanor break through Jack's aloofness, making him realize how much he's missed having a woman in his life. Romance blossoms between the pair.
When word gets out about Jack's past and half the town gangs up on him, Addie steadfastly stands by his side even though tragic events from her own past give her every reason not to trust him.
But when another teenage girl from Salem Falls, the daughter of a powerful local businessman, and her three friends accuse Jack of rape, how can Addie or anyone else in town possibly believe in his innocence?
