The River Is Waiting by Wally Lamb
“An imprisoned young father struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship. As he begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible, he wonders: Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?” (Goodreads).
