At Home in the World

In my top five reads of 2007! I remember this book causing controversy when it was released 10 years ago. The true story of how J.D. Salinger encourages 18-year-old Maynard to move in with him, and a year later he tells her to “pack her things,” without explanation. I really enjoyed this story. This isn't so much the story of her relationship with Salinger, but her life before, and how her life changed after the relationship ended. Heart-wrenching and beautiful. A great read.
