Wally Lamb joined us for May's "Bookaccino Live" Book Group event to discuss his instant New York Times bestseller, THE RIVER IS WAITING, which is now available in paperback. It also is an Oprah's Book Club pick and a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Wally explained how he came to write this story and how his time working with incarcerated women in the prison system influenced his work.

A number of readers joined us to share their thoughts on the book and how it affected them in powerful ways. (Please note: Spoilers are included.)
