Eva's pick is Defending Jacob, by William Landay
Synopsis:
Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban
Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. 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. Andy must. He’s his father.
But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage
threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, 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.
Eva says: Great story! Well told!
