Jodi Picoult, autora de Por la vida de mi hermana, nos presenta su libro más fascinante, con una alarmante y conmovedora historia acerca de las repercusiones devastadoras de una tragedia en un pueblo pequeño de los Estado Unidos.

Sterling es un pueblo común en New Hampshire donde nunca ocurre nada — hasta el día que su complacencia es hecha añicos por un acto de violencia. Josie Cormier, la hija de la jueza que preside el caso, es la mejor testigo con la que cuenta el estado, pero no puede recordar lo que ha ocurrido delante de sus propios ojos ¿o sí?

A medida que el juicio avanza, empiezan a hacerse visibles las grietas entre las autoridades del colegio secundario y la comunidad adulta del lugar — destruyendo los lazos más fuertes de familia y amistad. Diecinueve minutos nos hace preguntarnos qué significa ser diferente en nuestra sociedad, quién tiene el derecho de juzgar a otro y si las personas son lo que realmente parecen ser.
