About this ebook
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.

This was one Picoult novel that I'm not sure how I feel about. Well written as always, I had a hard time connecting with the main character, which is odd for me. However, this is a good book & one I'm glad to have on my shelves.

There's a trending pattern in Jodi Picoult books. Everything ends in a court case. If they weren't so predictable I'd love them more.

Perfect- as every book she writes. Moving, suspenseful and gets us questioning our own moral values. What would you do if it happened to you?
