When Daniel Stone was a child, he was the only white boy in a native Eskimo village where his mother taught, and he was teased mercilessly because he was different. He fought back, the baddest of the bad kids: stealing, drinking, robbing and cheating his way out of the Alaskan bush – where he honed his artistic talent, fell in love with a girl and got her pregnant. To become part of a family, he reinvented himself – jettisoning all that anger to become a docile, devoted husband and father. Fifteen years later, when we meet Daniel again, he is a comic book artist. His wife teaches Dante’s Inferno at a local college; his daughter, Trixie, is the light of his life – and a girl who only knows her father as the even-tempered, mild-mannered man he has been her whole life. Until, that is, she is date raped…and Daniel finds himself struggling, again, with a powerlessness and a rage that may not just swallow him whole, but destroy his family and his future. 男主角Daniel是唯一一位在阿拉斯加成长的白人，在压抑、嘲弄的环境下他染上了一些恶习，这些因子深埋在他心底。长大后他出版的漫��获得空前成功，有了在大学任教的妻子与十四岁亭亭玉立的女儿。女儿Trixie与当时学校的风云人物橄榄球队队长交往却遭到抛弃，于是她开始以激烈的手段想挽回感情，但偏激的行为却将男友逼往自杀一途。而此时Daniel同时发现妻子与她的学生有染…… About Author New York Timesbestselling author Jodi Picoult has written twelve novels.
