Publisher's summary

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult comes a compelling and disturbing novel about a prep school teacher accused of rape by a group of young girls, the woman who stands by him, and the repercussions of the case in a small New England town where the past is only a heartbeat away.

Love can redeem a man...but secrets and lies can condemn him.

A handsome stranger comes to the sleepy New England town of Salem Falls in hopes of burying his past: Once a teacher at a girls' prep school, Jack St. Bride was destroyed when a student's crush sparked a powder keg of accusation. Now, washing dishes for Addie Peabody at the Do-or-Diner, he slips quietly into his new routine, and Addie finds this unassuming man fitting easily inside her heart. But amid the rustic calm of Salem Falls, a quartet of teenage girls harbor dark secrets - and they maliciously target Jack with a shattering allegation.

Now, at the center of a modern-day witch hunt, Jack is forced once again to proclaim his innocence: to a town searching for answers, to a justice system where truth becomes a slippery concept written in shades of gray, and to the woman who has come to love him.

Slow Start

The beginning was difficult and at times a bit confusing. As a favorite author, I stayed with the story and was glad I did. The characters were developed at the start and because of the depth, the engagement in the latter parts of the book was far deeper. I enjoyed the story.

Wanted to give Only four stars, but…

This is a well written story with a lot of thought provoking relationships, and incidences. My reason for considering only four stars was because of the ending. But I realize that is because of my discomfort with the conclusion, not because of the quality of the book. Life isn’t always fair.
