Stories pile on top of one another until finally at the end they all tie together into what seemed to be a happy ending.īy far my favorite character was Willow just because of her positive outlook on everything. Charlotte, Willow and Amelia’s mother, struggles with keeping up house payments and finally decides to sue her OBGYN which also happens to be her best friend. Amelia tries and tries again to catch her parents’ attention, but they just don’t listen until it’s too late.
She tends to think because Willow has this incurable condition, she gets all the attention. Her older sister Amelia is much different. She struggles everyday and even though she has this condition, she always seems to find good in everything. The whole book revolves around a girl named Willow, who sadly has a bone disease known as osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease. There are so many things going on in this novel at a time that I’m not even sure where to begin. All in all, I would recommend this novel to any high school student or adult that hasn’t had the chance to experience the technique of Jodi Picoult’s writing skills She seems to really understand what things teenagers like me enjoy reading about and what aspects of a book we’re interested in.
Jodi Picoult is definitely one of the better authors of this time. (Mar.Overall this was a fantastic novel for teenagers sixteen and up. Picoult individualizes the alternating voices of the narrators more believably than she has previously, and weaves in subplots to underscore the themes of hope, regret, identity and family, leading up to her signature closing twists. Not only is the defendant Charlotte's longtime friend, but the case requires Charlotte and Sean to claim that had they known of Willow's condition, they would have terminated the pregnancy, a statement that strikes at the core of their faith and family. When Charlotte decides to sue for wrongful birth in order to obtain a settlement to ensure Willow's future, the already strained family begins to implode. Willow's teenaged half-sister, Amelia, suffers as well, overshadowed by Willow's needs and lost in her own adolescent turmoil. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe's daughter, Willow, was born with brittle bone disease, a condition that requires Charlotte to act as full-time caregiver and has strained their emotional and financial limits. ) delivers another engrossing family drama, spiced with her trademark blend of medicine, law and love.
