Sugar run : a novel / Mesha Maren.
In 1989, Jodi McCarty is seventeen years old when she's sentenced to life in prison for manslaughter. Eighteen years later, she finds herself at a Greyhound bus stop, reeling from the shock of unexpected freedom. Not yet able to return to her lost home in the Appalachian Mountains, she goes searching for someone she left behind, but on the way, she meets and falls in love with Miranda, a troubled young mother. Together, they try to make a fresh start, but is that even possible in a town that refuses to change?
