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.

Takes you inside the minds of many…

I’ve only recently discovered Jodi Picoult but I’ve quickly learned that it is difficult to listen to her stories and emerge unchanged. I always learn things from her stories as well and am amazed at the amount of research she typically puts into her books. This book is not an easy listen as it deals with challenging issues that aren’t easily addressed or resolved. At times I found it heartbreaking and I think that is part of the point. Her books make you dig deep and feel things that aren’t always comfortable. I appreciate how the author takes you inside the minds of many people as this world needs more empathy. Overall, this is a compelling novel and I recommend it.

Very hard to follow

This book jumped back and forward then back then somewhere else. I was really fed up trying to figure out where I was in the story. This seems to be the fashion in both books and movies and its pretty annoying. The actual story was good if it hadn't been such a jumble. I kept thinking "OK now where am I" and then wondering, did I miss something.

Well done

Tough subject… and Jodi coverage of it was exceptionally! It’s not as good as other books she’s written but her but I found her characters and research of this subject an excellent way to get the message across.

Decent but not as good as expected.

The story jumps a lot which makes it hard to keep up and it dragged on a little too much. Overall it was just ok.

Perspective

Jodi Picoult never disappoints to show us all the nuances of controversial subjects. Her characters are well rounded out and believable and the narrator Carol Monda did an excellent performance.

I wasn't sure that I wanted to listen to this story but my pull to Jodi's honest handling of sensitive issues drew me in.

It is as thought provoking as I expected and definitely worth the listen.

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this book!!! It encouraged me to have some deep conversations with my teenagers about words and actions. Highly recommend this novel!
