The novel chronicles the reactions of Carpious Mightson and his neighbors when a registered sex offender, Ian Kaplan, moves into the family-friendly neighborhood, Mechi Lane. Carpious is an esteemed, charismatic leader in his community, but it is slowly revealed that there is a duality about him. He has a personal connection to Ian that he would prefer stays hidden. Bivins delves into societal perceptions of sex offenders versus violent offenders and how it seems commonplace and accepted that sex-offenders cannot be rehabilitated. The overarching theme of the novel is forgiveness. TitlePious is an ironic play on the virtue of piety which the main character, Carpious, seems to be in conflict of possessing. The character's name is combination of that virtue and the Christian symbol of the fish, carp. External links
