Product Description:
The acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a spellbinding tale of a mother's tragic loss and one man's last chance at gaining salvation.
Can we save ourselves, or do we rely on others to do it? Is what we believe always the truth?
One moment June Nealon was happily looking forward to years full of laughter and adventure with her family, and the next, she was staring into a future that was as empty as her heart. Now her life is a waiting game. Waiting for time to heal her wounds, waiting for justice. In short, waiting for a miracle to happen.
For Shay Bourne, life holds no more surprises. The world has given him nothing, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, something happens that changes everything for him. Now, he has one last chance for salvation, and it lies with June's eleven-year-old daughter, Claire. But between Shay and Claire stretches an ocean of bitter regrets, past crimes, and the rage of a mother who has lost her child.
Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish?
Once again, Jodi Picoult mesmerizes and enthralls readers with this story of redemption, justice, and love.

Rating:  - Thanks Jodi!!
I loved this book, and to be honest I didn't think that I would. I had a friend of mine years ago get me hooked on Jodi's books, and I have not been able to put them down since. I have also got my own group of friends who are hooked as well.
I loved the complexity of this story, and the internal and external battles with the death penalty and what we see as right and wrong. It had a twist that I would have never thought possible.
Thanks again for a great book Jodi and keep up ... Read More

The police officer who brought the bad news becomes the knight on the white steed, wooing and winning her and her daughter's affections. Then, just as in old fairy tales, when June is married to the policeman, pregnant and renovating their home, the idyll is disrupted by the evil one, who appears in the guise of a young carpenter. Picoult has carved out a literary ... Read More
Rating: - This one really made me think...
Change of Heart was the first novel of Jodi Picoult's that I'd ever read. I really didn't know what to expect when I first picked it up, but what I discovered was a story that literally gave me chills.
I am generally against capital punishment, but what made me so uncomfortable about this novel is the fact that I found myself actually wondering if I'd feel differently about the death penalty if I knew that every excecuted inmate would be donating his/her organs to those who need them. ...

Rating: - One of the Best Picoults Yet
As a fan of Jodi Picoult's previous work, I was eager to get my hands on her latest novel, Change of Heart. I wasn't disappointed either.
Picoult weaves together a tale of redemption, romance and religion with masterful prose. Each scene packs a punch and leaves the reader with a question that forces them to rethink how they approach certain issues. Fans of Picoult's earlier novels will find all of the elements that they are accustomed to: multiple character narration, courtroom drama, a New England ... Read More
