The Banned Books Club by Brenda Novak *Signed Copy
She left her hometown following a scandal—but family loyalty is dragging her back… Despite their strained relationship, when Gia Rossi’s sister, Margot, begs her to come home to Wakefield, Iowa, to help with their ailing mother, Gia knows she has no choice. After her rebellious and at-times tumultuous teen years, Gia left town with little reason to look back. But now it’s Gia’s turn to help, even if it means opening old wounds.
As expected, Gia’s homecoming is far from welcome. There’s the Banned Books Club she started after the PTA overzealously slashed the high school reading list, which is right where she left it. But there is also Mr. Hart, her former favorite teacher. The one who prompted Gia to leave behind a very conflicted town the minute she turned eighteen. The one person she hoped never to see again…
When Margot leaves town without explanation, Gia sees the cracks in her sister’s “perfect” life for the first time, but as the town, including members of the book club, takes sides between Gia and Mr. Hart, everything gets harder. Fortunately, she learns that by standing up for the truth, she finds love and a future in the town she thought had rejected her.
