Join the Discussion #HPLreads
Book discussions will be scheduled during the summer so you can talk about The Best Kind of People in more detail. Or, start a discussion group of your own. Or, read the following summary and consider these questions to get started.
George Woodbury, an affable teacher and beloved husband and father, is arrested for sexual impropriety at a prestigious prep school. His wife, Joan, vaults between denial and rage as the community she loved turns on her. Their daughter, Sadie, a popular over-achieving high school senior, becomes a social pariah. Their son, Andrew, assists in his father's defense, while wrestling with his own unhappy memories of his teen years. A local author tries to exploit their story, while an unlikely men's rights activist attempts to get Sadie on the side of their cause.
