Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult



480 pages


I love Jodi Picoult's books! She really helps you see all sides of an issue and challenges any preconceived notions/opinions you may have. The plot is so involved that I'm going to let Amazon do my summarizing. I think this book would appeal to a lot of people, and I recommend it.


From Amazon - "Popular author Picoult tackles the controversial topic of gay rights in her latest powerful tale. When music therapist Zoe Baxter's latest pregnancy ends in a still birth, her husband Max decides he can't handle any more heartbreak and leaves her. As she picks up the pieces of her life, Zoe is surprised to find herself falling for a school counselor who happens to be a woman. While Zoe is finding happiness with Vanessa, Max falls off the wagon and is helped by a pastor from his brother's evangelical church. Vanessa and Zoe wed in Massachusetts, and Vanessa offers to carry one of the fertilized embryos Zoe and Max stored. Excited by the prospect of being a mother, Zoe goes to Max to get him to release the embryos to her and is shocked when he instead sues her for custody of them, backed by his church."


Picoult always has a surprise ending, and she did not disappoint us this time.
