In nineteen minutes you can mow the front lawn, or dye your hair, or bake scones for breakfast. In nineteen minutes you can stop the earth or jump off it. In nineteen minutes you can have vengeance. Sterling is a provincial sleepy little town in the state of New Hampshire. One day its quiet life is disturbed by gunshots at the high school. And to survive the event, it's not enough to get justice served. For the residents of Sterling forever erased the line between truth and fiction, good and evil, their own and strangers. Josie Cormier, daughter of the judge, could be a valuable witness for the prosecution, but does not remember what happened in front of her eyes, and the facts that come to light during the proceedings, cast a shadow of guilt on both schoolchildren and adults, destroying even the strongest friendships and family ties. The novel Nineteen Minutes poses simple questions to which there are no simple answers. Is it possible not to know your own child? What does it mean to be different? Is the victim's desire to strike back justified? And who is to be judged, if any of us has the right to judge another at all?
