This award-winning story is the basis for the musical \u003ci\u003eViolet,\u003c\/i\u003e which won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. In \"Hitchhiker,\" a wary secretary hitches a ride in a boat with a man hell-bent on saving fish; instead he saves her from the river -- and herself. And in the title story, Betts brilliantly captures the inner life of a teacher and writer struggling to control her classroom, her household, and her life.","brand":"Touchstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43404809142527,"sku":"9780684838052","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_cb92125c-12f5-462a-8477-584061f1c43c.jpg?v=1746936824","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780684838052","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
