The best kind of people / Zoe Whittall.

Whittall, Zoe, (author.).

Summary:

The Woodburys cherish life in the affluent, bucolic suburb of Avalon Hills, Connecticut. Then one night a police car pulls up to the Woodbury home and George is charged with sexual misconduct with students from his daughter's school. As he sits in prison awaiting trial and claiming innocence, Joan vaults between denial and rage as friends and neighbors turn cold. A writer tries to exploit their story, while an unlikely men's rights activist group attempts to recruit daughter Sadie for their cause.
