A Small-Town New Hampshire Literary Drama of High School Bullying, Violence, and Courtroom Aftermath
In Sterling, New Hampshire, seventeen-year-old Peter Houghton endures years of severe physical and psychological bullying at Sterling High School. On a March morning, Peter opens fire inside the school, killing ten people and wounding nineteen in nineteen minutes.
Detective Patrick Ducharme leads the criminal investigation, while Judge Alex Cormier presides over Peter's murder trial. Alex's daughter Josie, Peter's former childhood best friend turned popular student, suffers trauma-induced amnesia regarding her role in the shooting, forcing the town to confront youth culture, parental neglect, and justice.
Why You’ll Love This Book
Jodi Picoult delivers a gripping, multi-perspective literary drama exploring adolescent trauma, school violence, and community grief. Essential reading for fans of Celeste Ng, Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin, and Alice Sebold.
