"Whereas most parents lie awake at night vividly conjuring the worst scenarios that could befall their children in their absence. Nina lives the reality of such crisis-and it's her job to do something about them."--JacketCareer-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters and works determinedly to ensure that a legal system with too many loopholes keeps these criminals behind bars. When her own five-year-old son, Nathaniel, is traumatized by a sexual assault, Nina and her husband, Caleb, a stone mason, are ripped apart by an enraging sense of helplessness in the face of a futile justice system. Nina hurtles toward a plan to exact her own justice for her son-- no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice. -- adapted from back cover
