Nineteen Minutes
Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of <I>My Sister's Keeper</I> and <I>The Tenth Circle</I>, pens her most riveting book yet, with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy.<BR><BR>Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens--until the day its complacency is shattered by a school shooting. Josie Cormier, the 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. <I>Nineteen Minutes</I> asks what it means to be different in our society, who has the right to judge someone else, and whether anyone is ever really who they seem to be.
