  • Absolutely fantastic, and the ending gave me goosebumps. There was a lot of discussion along religious lines, and it might not be for everyone. I really enjoyed it.

  • Great plot as always with Jodi! Really made me think about morality & spirituality. Characters were dynamic & complex, yet very relatable.

  • Starts off incredibly slow for one of her books and I even debated putting it down, but I continued on and it turned out to be an amazing book. A mix of faith, religion (though no one in particular), legal and medical issues, and hope.

    Starts off incredibly slow for one of her books and I even debated putting it down, but I continued on and it turned out to be an amazing book. A mix of faith, religion (though no one in particular), legal and medical issues, and hope.

    Pay attention to the very end, it will make you smile and really think of the implications of the whole story.

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.
