"Best Laid Schemes" by Meredith Nicholson explores the intricate life of Susan Parker, a twenty-six-year-old librarian yearning for more than the confines of her daily existence.

This poignant narrative invites students and civic activists alike to reflect on themes of self-discovery and the pursuit of happiness. With sharp insights into the complexities of human relationships, this novel remains a timeless exploration of aspirations and the choices that shape our lives.
