The river is waiting [large print] : a novel / Wally Lamb.
"Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage into a tailspin. And that's before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences elemental kinship with a prison librarian, tender-hearted cellmate, and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?"-- Back cover.
