Defending Jacob by William Landay
This is much more than a legal thriller It is more than a story about an Assistant DA and his teen-age son Jacob It goes beyond the portrait of Jacobrsquos family in crisis It exceeds mere descrip-tions of the local judicial system It makes you wonder what actually happened at the crime
scene but primarily it poses questions that are troubling It asks the reader ldquoWhat would you do to defend your child What would you do if your genetic inheritance affected your childrsquos actions This novel reviews the time-worn dilemmas ldquoAre behaviors defined by
nature or nurturerdquo ldquoAre we masters of our own faterdquo
Jacob is fourteen and is implicated in a crime involving a classmate Andy Barber his father is the Assistant District Attorney who with wife Laurie mother of Jacob live in a suburban
New England town
Ethics parenting teenage problems the me-dia friendship marriage and justice all play a
role in this riveting story

THE 2013-2014 PROGRAM of BOOKS amp COFFEE
Defending Jacob by William Landay
This is much more than a legal thriller It is more than a story about an Assistant DA and his teen-age son Jacob It goes beyond the portrait of Jacobrsquos family in crisis It exceeds mere descrip-tions of the local judicial system It makes you wonder what actually happened at the crime
scene but primarily it poses questions that are troubling It asks the reader ldquoWhat would you do to defend your child What would you do if your genetic inheritance affected your childrsquos actions This novel reviews the time-worn dilemmas ldquoAre behaviors defined by
nature or nurturerdquo ldquoAre we masters of our own faterdquo
Jacob is fourteen and is implicated in a crime involving a classmate Andy Barber his father is the Assistant District Attorney who with wife Laurie mother of Jacob live in a suburban
New England town
Ethics parenting teenage problems the me-dia friendship marriage and justice all play a
role in this riveting story
Read it with a friend Yoursquoll want to discuss it
