Carolyn Chutes newest paperback returns to her beloved town of Egypt, Maine and delivers a rousing, politically charged portrait of those living on the margins of our society.The School on Hearts Content Road begins with Mickey Gammon, a fifteenyearold dropout who has been evicted from home and seeks shelter in the Settlementa rural cooperative in alternative energy, farm produce, and local goods, founded by the Prophet. Falsely demonized by the media as a compound of sin, the Settlements true nature remains foreign to outsiders. There, Mickey meets another deserted child, sixyearold Secret Agent Janea cunning, beautiful girl whose mother is in jail on false drug charges and who prowls the Settlement in heartshaped sunglasses, imagining her childish plans to ruin the community will win her mothers freedom. As they struggle to adjust to their new, complex surrogate family, Mickey and Jane witness the mounting unrest within the Settlements ranks, which soon builds to a shocking crescendo.Vehement and poetic, The School on Hearts Content Road questions the nature of family, culture, and authority in an intensely diverse nation. It is an urgent plea from those who have been shoved to the fringes of society, but who refuse to be silenced.
