Publisher's summary

The best-selling author of My Sister's Keeper and The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult pens her most riveting book yet, with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy.

Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens - until the day its complacency is shattered by an act of violence. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes - or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.

Great Characters, Great Story

Another wonderful Jodi Picoult book. This author has consistently written terrific novels exploring so many timely topics in such a creative and fascinating way.
In this, we enter into the minds of the students, adults and especially the parents involved in the horrific event perpetrated by the boy, Peter.
Picoult's writing might sometimes be a bit too flowery to suit most of the characters, but I was still swept along with this fascinating exploration of teenagers in this small town.
Carol Monda narrated it very well and used her deep throaty voice expertly for the male characters.
Picoult is really a masterful storyteller. #masterfulWriter #suspensful #ExcellentNarration #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

The book gripped me and adequately portrayed all sides of the story. It shows how complex human development actually is.

Jodi Picoult is a Brilliant author

This my third book by Jodi Picoult. She tells real stories in the clearest, voice. Each character holds their own. I have learned and grown as a woman, sister, wife, friend, and mother, by each. Thank

A review of the book by the Pearls of literary book club.

The story is relevant for the time.
We dislike the distant relationship of the mothers (Lacey andAlex) towards their children.
The book was well written and evolve each character.
We would recommend it.
