From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult comes a “sensitive exploration of the balance of love” (Publishers Weekly).
What would you do for someone you love?
Would you lie? Would you leave? Would you kill?
Cameron MacDonald has spent his life guided by duty. As the police chief of a small Massachusetts town that has been home to generations of his Scottish clan, he is bound to the town's residents by blood and honor. Yet when his cousin Jamie arrives at the police station with the body of his wife and horrifying confession that he's killed her, Cam immediately places him under arrest.
In the midst of betrayals and trials, forced to confront the limits of their love and loyalties, these cousins must ask themselves how far the borders of their hearts can extend.
Quotes
From WikiquoteIn the moments before, she laid a hand on his arm. 'No matter what,' she said, giving him a look, 'you cannot stop.
Allie had trouble convincing herself that the reason they had gotten married years later did not have to do with the fact that after college, they were two of the few who had come back to Wheelock. Cam had returned because it was expected of him, Allie because there was nowhere else she really wanted to be.”
You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride.
