Short book description: BATS is an unlikely love story set in a small New England town. It is the tale of misfits of differing sizes and shapes. Jean Woodland has lived her entire life in Derby but never quite fit in. Socially awkward, she has always been an outsider, unable or unwilling to identify with her neighbors or her students. Mylo, the handsome guy who bags groceries at the local market, lives on the margins of society in a residence for disabled adults. Disarmingly friendly and kind, he makes Jean feel distinctly uncomfortable, but she finds his deep-seated desire to help impossible to deflect. Then there are the bats. Discoveries follow. A bat colony on the brink of extinction. The excitement of activism. Tension with Jean's next-door neighbor. Feelings Jean never knew she had. Daring to do something amazing, Jean and Mylo embark on a road trip in a vintage Airstream. What begins with a sense of promise, quickly degenerates into something neither can navigate. Or can they?
