  • Originally published 2008
  • Characters:  claire(needs heart), shay (murderer, miracle worker), curt(cop, stepdad), elizabeth (murdered daughter), lucius(AIDS inmate), michael(priest, juror feeling guilty), maggie(aclu attorney)
  • Review:  Jodi Picoult has a real knack for tackling controversial issues and illuminating multiple perspectives to consider.  This time around she tackles the death penalty and organized religion, with a touch of medical ethics.  No small feat!  The story was thought provoking and the characters were memorable.  Well done!
