Trial and Redemption
A Call Numbers Novel
Literary Fiction
In the book of life, the page must always be turned.
Robin Walker is at a crossroads. It’s 1994, and he’s been
suspended from his part-time clerical position at the 58th Street Branch
Library. His co-workers are overburdened, even with visiting clerks from
other libraries.
Still mourning the loss of his grandfather, Robin also pines for Shinju,
his former girlfriend and the niece of his supervisor Sonyai Yi. Meanwhile,
library page Tonya Brown attempts to reconcile with her cheating boyfriend
Andrew Friedman. Information assistant Angie Trueblood is given the cold
shoulder by Heywood Learner, still despondent over a breakup. And former
58th Street page Janelle Simms is due to give birth and go on maternity
leave, all while feuding with her parents.
But all is not lost. Over time, these co-workers have become much more than
that. Joy, anger, love and pain are etched among them like ink on paper. Now
they must decide whether to renew their life choices or reserve a new path.
And with their due dates fast approaching, one thing becomes clear –
everybody wants a happy ending.

We are (slowly) working on updating old posts to the new format and removing old tour/blitz posts that are now missing key assets – please be patient with us, there are a lot of posts to go through, we’ve been doing this since 2016! Any tour/blitz posts that contained a review and are now missing key assets will be updated to review posts so the reviews remain accessible

We’re doing our best to get everything up on the site and social media in a timely manner. Apologies if anything is missed or late! Between the state of the US right now, mental/physical health problems, and some things going on in our personal lives, things may be missed or late occasionally. We truly appreciate your understanding! Feel free to reach out to Lily if you notice something missing.

Mental Health Resources for those in the USA – In light of the recent election, we want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. We may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews we don’t always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, we’d appreciate you contacting us with this form to let us know.
