I think this book is so much more than the description from the cover. This is my favorite of Picoult's books. I loved the characters and all their imperfections, ethnic and personal quirks. I loved that the Hero of the love story in the book is so imperfect and, yet, a good man. I loved that the small town was involved in this trial and, yet, not mean and small minded about the situations that brought them all there. There is beautifully written passion, pain, sorrow; and the pain we feel for our parents, children and spouses. I could smell the fall leaves and see the colors. I could feel the pinch of snow falling on my face. I have bought a first edition copy of this book for my keeper shelf.
