Days of Wonder by Caroline Leavitt

This novel hooked me from the beginning with its premise of a young woman serving time for a crime she did not commit. Upon release from prison, she must rebuild her life but also gather the pieces of what led to her incarceration. She gave birth and relinquished a child while in prison, she lost the love of a young man, she had to reconcile a difficult relationship with her mother. Answering the question, what does it take to be forgiven, this novel is well written with plenty of twists to keep you turning the page.
