Jodi Picoult
Picoult brings to life a female prosecutor whose cherished family is shattered when she learns that her five-year-old son has been sexually abused.What does it mean to be a good mother? How far would you go in the name of love—and justice? In the course of her everyday work, career-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters and works determinedly to ensure that a legal system with too many loopholes keeps these criminals behind bars. But when her own five-year-old son, Nathaniel, is traumatized by a sexual assault, Nina and her husband, Caleb, a quiet and methodical stone mason, are shattered, ripped apart by an enraging sense of helplessness in the face of a futile justice system that Nina knows all too well. In a heartbeat, Nina's absolute truths and convictions are turned upside down, and she hurtles toward a plan to exact her own justice for her son—no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice.

"Hands down one of my very favorite authors. This was a heartbreaking story to read, as are a lot of her stories. The twist was a little too far fetched for me, but I see why it was necessary. "

"<strong>Sugary sweet at times/ insta love </strong><br/><br/>3.5/5. Millie is one year post grieving the death of her husband and not coping well. After convincing her friend during a drunken escapade to find out who received her husbands heart she travels to have “closure” and say goodbye. Millie and Ashton have excellent chemistry and fiery banter that makes you swoon however it does all happen over the course of ten days and for me it was alittle too instalove. I enjoyed this read but felt a lot of the medical stuff was too far fetched and made the story feel a little thrown together. Easy, sweet read with an HEA"

"Emotional and hard read. Some of the language is a bit outdated, but it was written in the early 2000s."
