Thoughtful tale on motherhood.

Fascinating window into the life of a motherless mother. Brought to life the hidden insecurities and questions that most women would encounter in the same situation. How does one be a good mother when one didn't have a mother of their own? Paige's mother abandoned her and her father when she was a little girl (5 I think) and the majority of this novel deals with Paige's eventual abandonment of her own son in an effort to reconnect with her mother and discover the truth that's been eluding Paige her whole life. Why? Why did she leave?
Touches on issues of feminism..abortion, choices, that women have more to offer than just maternal love but in the end we all know that if one has a child it is one's duty to love and raise it well, not run away to live a dream.
Worth finishing even though the ending somewhat predictable and anti-climactic.

A Wonderful Story

I have always enjoyed Jodi Picoult novels, but for some reason I missed this earlier work by her. But I'm glad I picked it up at the library, because it was a wonderful story. It's a moving story about people who change for the better and the story pulled me into it and tugged at my emotions. I found myself disliking Nicolas for the way he treated his wife, but still there were moments when I couldn't help but laugh at some of the characters in this book. The books moves along at a good pace and I would gladly recommend it to all.

She did it again!

I just finished reading this. It took me a total of three days. I couldn't put it down! From beginning to end, I was captured. I love how Picoult transfers me to another world! This is the third book by her that I've read and I'm going to add more to my wish list NOW! Read it!

Picoult Makes You Think...

This book discusses issues which many new mothers feel. While the character takes drastic measures while adjusting to motherhood, it validates a lot of the mixed feelings that most new mothers have. We rarely feel that we are doing it right, or that we are truly adequate parents. It also explores the problems that husbands and wives often face. Hopefully, women will remind their husbands that both parents need to parent their child.
