There is more than one way to lose a child.

Daniel Stone had thought it would never happen to him. How could it, when Trixie's face lit up every time she saw him, when for her whole life he'd been the centre of her world? But recently it seems, without him noticing it, his daughter is gone, and in her place is a stranger.

Until the night fourteen-year-old Trixie comes home from a party claiming she was raped, and suddenly she needs him more than ever. Because the whole school knew Jason Underhill broke Trixie's heart, but that doesn't make him a rapist, does it?

For Daniel there is no doubt: his daughter is innocent. He has failed to protect her once. Now he will do anything to save her.

Another great Jodi Picoult Novel. Sending off as a RABCK to another bookcrosser, hope you enjoy :)

A lovely surprise, waiting for me on the doorstep when I got back home following a LONG journey through Bank Holiday traffic from Cornwall to Solihull. Thanks. I will read soon and try to RABCK again.

Jodi Picoult writes novels which make you question your moral values. In this tale, all the main characters does something which is wrong. The tale is sometimes quite gritty / shocking and the teenage ‘games’ mentioned are definitely not played at every teenagers party.

When I got to page 116 and saw the Doré Dante worksmentioned, I realised this may have influenced the choice in who this was sent to last time. In case you are wondering, I believe I am a descendant of his brother rather than a direct descendant but I haven’t got a copy of the family tree.

Sometimes it’s hard to write a journal entry without mentioning one of the twists in the tale. I felt that the book could have done with another chapter to explain what happened next.

Thanks for sending this. It will be passed on at the Convention in April.

RELEASE NOTES:

It's always difficult to write about a Jodi Picoult novel without giving away too many spoilers. Suffice it to say, this book kept me gripped through a long and otherwise boring night at Heathrow, with its satisfyingly twisty plot and beleivably flawed characters.

Thanks again Beckydore!
