Appreciating family will never come so easily after reading this novel by Jodi Picoult.

"The Tenth Circle" describes a tumultuous family living in their own problems. Each member finds themselves close to falling apart from the rest of the family: an unfaithful wife, a depressed teen looking for attention in scandalous ways, and a father, trying desperately to be the glue to holding it all together.

His daughter finally takes her dangerous lifestyle a step too far, forcing the wife and husband to face their future, and their past.

"The Tenth Circle" gives way to the idea of how deep a family may fall and still be able to pick themselves back up.

Verdict:
Starting slow, Picoult dishes out another classic set to be a Lifetime Movie.
