Publisher Description

From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult, a powerful novel that explores the unbreakable bond between parent and child, and questions whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime—or if your mistakes are carried forever.

Fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone is in love for the first time. She’s also a straight-A high school student, pretty and popular, and the light of her father’s life.... Comic book artist Daniel Stone would do anything to protect his daughter. But when a single act of violence shatters her innocence, seemingly mild-mannered Daniel’s convictions are put to the test—while his own shockingly tumultuous past, hidden even from his family, comes to light. Now, everything Trixie’s ever believed about her hero, her father, seems to be a lie as Daniel ventures to hell and back, seeking revenge. Will the price be the bond they share?

Revealing an “exceptional, unflinching, and utterly chilling” (The Washington Post) portrait of today’s youth culture, Jodi Picoult pulls readers inside a shattered family facing the toughest questions of morality and forgiveness.

"I loved the setting of this story in the Alaskan Inuit Community. It was definitely a very unique story and I found myself always wondering what would happen next. This was my first time reading a book by Jodie Picoult and I was impressed. I liked her writing style and the overall concept of the story. The fact that the topic of 'rape' was included was a shock factor but it allowed the story to unravel in a mystifying chain of events."

    " The Tenth Circle, was a great book. I wasnt sure if I was going to like it, but I loved it! There were comics placed through out the book, I thought that was kinda cool. The book had me on edge, I was so sad, happy, nervous, and wondering. It was great. I am going to go check out more of Jodi Picoults books . I loved this one "

    " I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting topic. Lots of emotion and self-doubts in the characters. It is amazing how people come to a conclusion without always knowing the facts. They can be very hurtful. The book kept moving and was hard to put down. "

    " Sigh. Yeah. Let's see...I would def. say the father was my fav. character. Trixie...I found it hard to feel sympathy for her and she was largely obnoxious to me. She was very one sided. Low self esteem, always presented as rather pathetic...(I'm in no means trying to be callous to the situation she went through--but I would have liked to have gotten to KNOW the Trixie BEFORE this experience and her not be so flat a character.) I really thought Moss would be it in the end and, personally, I would have enjoyed that direction more had she chosen it I think. Eh, potential...but not impressed. On to better things now... :) "

    " Author, Jodi Picoult, has flair .....she weaved comics into this book! I would recommend this book to anyone with a teenage daughter. The story is difficult for a parent but the realities are there and in life, it's better to face the truth than to risk the alternative. "

    " Intense. Picoult has a way of writing that gives you hints of what is to come, but still leaves you piecing it all together. Reading about messed up lives is better than having it be mine. The more I read of her books, the more I understand why my friend Jackie likes them so much. "
