He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: his fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student. Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, and as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own--between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he's tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.

This is a gripping story, but if you like happy endings, don't read this one.
What a hard choice for Jacobs parents. I can't even imagine being in that type of a position. I thought this was a very well written book. Didn't care so much for the reader. He wasn't bad I just would have preferred better changes in his voice when he was speaking from other characters. However, the story was amazing and flowed well and I have to admit there were several times that I stayed in my car just to listen to the book and other times I tried to think of reasons I had to go some where so that I could listen to the story. I will definitely be on the look out for others by this author
I couldn't even get by the first cd as the narrator's voice was so annoying but i would guess that it was a good story.
This book starts sad and ends sadder.
