I am reading a Jodi Picoult book, Nineteen Minutes. It is very engaging, the story of a community wracked by a school shooting that leaves ten people dead, and the shooter in jail. The author creates an omnipresent view of the effects of the shooting on everyone, examining the community years before and the effects of friendships and relationships gone askew. Jodi Picoult has wide appeal for her character developement and story line.
