The book which I read recently is called "The Tenth Circle" .the author is Jodi Picoult.
Following is it's synopsis：
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.
"The Tenth Circle" is absolutely the thought-provoking and topical novel readers have come to expect. What comes as a surprise is just how thoroughly the book twists the reader's heart…Picoult does a bang-up job on the narrative approach she's known for. She leads readers to consider thorny issues around motives and consequences,this book is really outstanding.

I think your entry sounds too much like that of a professional book reviewer. Did you write all this yourself? I am amazed. And, to be honest, somewhat uncertain. I suspect you borrowed heavily from someone's writing.
