The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult

13Sept. Paper.

Loaned to me by a friend. Not a particularly pleasant piece. A couple with problems of their own has a teenage daughter who is the victim of date rape - or was she? She is tried in the press and gossip networks and since the young man is a top jock at their high school ...

The girl's father has an odd past. His mother (a single mother) was the school teacher for an Alaskan native village. He grew up the lone outsider in the village younger set and was ostracized - on good days. He becomes a graphic artist and the book has pages of "his" artwork which add up to a graphic novel throughout. I believe the graphic novel is intended to parallel the "real" story. Bit of a reach.
