Synopsis

Peggy Court is the librarian in a small Massachusetts town. James Sweatt is a boy who grows--and grows and grows. After James’s mother commits suicide, Peggy assumes a protective role towards the boy, breaking out of the misanthropy and bitterness that has marked her life so far. Eventually, she must admit that her feelings for James are more than just protective. Finalist for the National Book Award in 1996.
