“Something still exists as long as there’s someone around to remember it.”
Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens—until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath, the town’s residents must not only seek justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role they played in the tragedy. For them, the lines between truth and fiction, right and wrong, insider and outsider have been obscured forever. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case could be the state’s best witness, but she can’t remember what happened in front of her own eyes. And as the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.
Told with the straightforward style for which Jodi Picoult has become known, Nineteen Minutes asks simple questions that have no easy answers: Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike back? And who—if anyone—has the right to judge someone else?
*Banned primarily for sexual content.
Read Alikes for Nineteen Minutes: The Pact by Jodi Picoult; Defending Jacob by William Landay; Only Child by Rhiannon Navin; The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt; Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina
