'This
story of a flawed family on the brink of destruction grips from start
to finish.' - Publishers Weekly
Comic
book artist Daniel Stone never for a moment suspected that the same boy
whom his fourteen-year-old daughter, Trixie, loved might inflict upon
her the worst possible harm. Could the young man, who once made
Trixie's face fill with light when he came to the door, have drugged
and then raped her? She says that he did, and that is all it takes to
make Daniel, a man with a past he has hidden even from his family,
venture to hell and back in order to protect his daughter.
With
a story that transports readers from small-town New England to the
wilds of the Alaskan bush, and interspersed with parallel vision
through the striking pen-and-ink pages of Daniel's graphic novel, Jodi
Picoult probes the unbreakable bond between parent and child and the
dangerous repercussions of trying to play the hero.
