Description
Picoult brings to life a female prosecutor whose cherished family is shattered when she learns that her five-year-old son has been sexually abused.
What does it mean to be a good mother?
How far would you go in the name of love—and justice?
In the course of her everyday work, career-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters and works determinedly to ensure that a legal system with too many loopholes keeps these criminals behind bars. But when her own five-year-old son, Nathaniel, is traumatized by a sexual assault, Nina and her husband, Caleb, a quiet and methodical stone mason, are shattered, ripped apart by an enraging sense of helplessness in the face of a futile justice system that Nina knows all too well. In a heartbeat, Nina's absolute truths and convictions are turned upside down, and she hurtles toward a plan to exact her own justice for her son—no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice.
Reviews
Best book I have ever read!
5By AshnicmattThis is by far the best book I have ever read, I couldn't put it down. As a mother, it was so easy to get sucked in ams put myself in the main character's shoes. I'm usually mad when I get done ready books because the endings are never satisfying, but this ending couldn't have been better!Wow!
5By Bearman11My 3rd Jodi Picoult book, and loved all so far!As a Mother...
5By AJM0105As a Mother of two young boys this book is by far the most moving of all Jodi's books. I have read all but a few of her books and have never been so touched by a book. You can easily relate to the main character and put yourself in her shoes. I haven't always been happy with the endings of Jodi's books but this ending is just perfect and gave me chills!!!!Typical Jodi Picoult!
1By rvdbergThis is the sixth Jodi Picoult book I've read and this one falls write into place with all the rest. In saying that, I was not disappointed. I read the reviews about others not liking the ending. I found myself anxious to get there yet not wanting to because I was afraid it would not be satisfying. But... It was just her style. I teared up just like always. Thank you Jodi for another intriguing book that truly makes you think... What would YOU do?!Another great book!
