19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult

Again she weaves a very intense story. The short of it is there is a shooting at a school. The long of it is how all of these kids in the school tie together. Whether it be classmates, parents or professionals. It makes you question how you are raising your own children. Are you helping them make the right decisions and helping them find a good path? Does it matter what you do, will they still go their own way anyway? It also makes you think about when you were in school and how you were treated and how you treated others. The subjects that are tackled are hard and can make you feel a little raw. I enjoy reading her books because they make you think and this one was no different.
