About The Company She Keeps
In October 1974, a year away from tenure and fulfilling her dream of becoming a full-time professor, Isabel Mathew seems to have it all. But behind her charismatic teaching and respected reputation lies a secret that could bring everything crashing down. Her forbidden affair with a graduating student, Raymond Walker, threatens to destroy everything she’s worked for. The only people who know are her drinking buddies, history professor Malcolm Hoffman, and writer-in-residence Henry Young Jr. Still, when her father falls ill, and she heads to Nashville to visit him, she has no idea that the next four days will change her life forever.
