(2) YA In 1914, a forward-thinking chaplain at Sherborn Prison for Women starts a prison choir and discovers sixteen-year-old Libby's natural talent as a soprano. When the choir tackles a fully staged production of The Pirates of Penzance, each inmate blossoms in a predictable yet satisfying way. Readers will relish the Dickensian-style adversity and bleak setting juxtaposed with the more hopeful "show must go on" plot.
