No, it is not based on a true story.

As it says in the opening pages of the book (where all the publication info is printed): "The characters and events in this book are ficticious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author."

One of Alice Sebold's other books, Lucky (1999) is a memoir of her own true experiences. Perhaps that is where some of the confusion comes from.
