The freedom to read is essential to our democracy. It is continuously under attack. Private groups and public authorities in various parts of the country are working to remove or limit access to reading materials, to censor content in schools, to label "controversial" views, to distribute lists of "objectionable" books or authors, and to purge libraries.

Hannah Wilson est une fille normale : elle a un travail inintéressant, des relations amoureuses décevantes et un compte en banque dans le rouge. Surtout, elle adore les forums de faits divers, où elle peut jouer les justicières féministes. Aussi, quand un tueur en série est arrêté à l'autre bout du pays, elle se fait un devoir de lui envoyer des lettres accusatrices. Elle est loin de s'attendre à ce qu'il lui réponde. Ou même à tomber amoureuse de lui...
