by Jodi Picoult. Jodi Picoult is a highly requested author. I recently read an article in The Writer magazine about her writing style. She chooses topics that are current issues and makes the characters in the story have to consider these issues. She never really comes out and says her opinion, she just presents the 'what if...'. This story is about a girl who gets raped, then the young man accused of raping her is found murdered. The mother of the girl is having an affair, the father has no idea. The daughter is a cutter. Once you get past all of the depressing family issues, you see a family wanting and trying, despite all odds, to stay together. This is the heart of the book and is worth the read and worth the thought.
