I have been wanting to read a book by Mrs. Picoult and this was an excellent first choice. The main character, Trixie, along with her parents embark on an accidental adventure into a hellish situation after Trixie is the victim of a violent crime. The author explores the torment a victim goes through after a violent crime and the parents helplessness when they realize their daughter is changing right before their very eyes. One thing I enjoyed about this book was the use of comic book story panels. The father, Daniel, is a comis book artist/author and Mrs. Picoult utilizes several pages of comics through out the book. Her descriptive language is the type that makes you stop and re-read just to enjoy the word picture she has painted or grip the emotion she has just evoked in the reader.
