Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone has been a ghost for fourteen days, seven hours, and thirty-six minutes, not that she is officially counting. Her overprotective father tried to shield her from life's perils--"but even he had never imagined what might befall her. Could the boy who once made her face fill with light when he came to the door have drugged and raped her? Trixie says that he did, and that is all it takes to make her father, a man with a past he has kept hidden even from his family, consider taking matters into his own hands. With a story that transports readers from smalltown New England to the wilds of the Alaskan bush and through incisive dialogue paired, for the first time ever, with parallel art--"Jodi Picoult probes the unbreakable bond between parent and child--"and the dangerous repercussions of trying to play God.
