(Recorded Books, LLC., March 15, 2007)
Unabridged 16 CD set. New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult is critically acclaimed for taking hot-button issues and shaping them into riveting novels. Salem Falls is her compelling tale-inspired by Arthur Miller's The Crucible-of a wrongly imprisoned man searching for a second chance. Jack St. Bride was a popular teacher and soccer coach at a girls' prep school when he was falsely accused of statutory rape. Released after eight months behind bars, he arrives in Salem Falls hoping to start fresh. He lands a job washing dishes at the local diner and even falls in love with the owner, Addie. But then a spoiled local girl accuses Jack of assault, forcing his past into the open and turning the town against him.
