Jodi Picoult has reappeared on my book list. And I can finally say I have completed it, after reading it here and there while studying for the GMAT. As soon as I finished the test, I blazed through the final 1/3 of the book. As a Jodi Picoult book usually does, there was an interesting twist towards the end of the book and the book also had a time in court.
In this story, parents Charlotte and Sean have a daughter who was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, which means she has fragile bones that break often and cause large medical expenses. After a vacation incident, the parents hear the term 'wrongful birth' for the first time. They decide to file a wrongful birth lawsuit against their doctor, who is actually Charlotte's best friend, for not letting them know about the disease earlier to allow them to make the decision to terminate the pregnancy.
As the lawsuit pursues, the family is ripped apart with different problems and values of the suit. With many twists and additions to financial expenses the book keeps you turning the pages (and maybe shedding some tears).
