TLC book club read. Wow. The author sums up the crux of the novel in The Story Behind section :"What would you do…..If". 14 yo Jacob is fingered as a murderer. The book is written from his father, Andy's, viewpoint. Lots of twists, turns and surprises. And like Picoult, an ethical issue thrown in. Andy, Jacob and Andy's incarcerated father all have the "murder gene". Does that make Jacob a murderer? Andy and his wife, Laurie, handle Jacob's trial differently (and in a backstory, Andy's father protects Jacob in a third way). All bringing forward the central questions - Would you recognize murder tendencies in your child? And what would you DO if your child was accused of a horrendous crime? The Columbine and Newtown parents must be struggling with this same dilemma. A very thought provoking with no pat answer book. Excellent book discussion on this book. Rabck'g on to flut3girl

I chose this book from the D bookring.

Thank you, NancyNova, for contributing this book. It's not a book that I would normally chose to read, but I will give it a try.

I did try reading the book. I found out that I did not want to read about murder.
