Promoting JODI PICOULT’S books
Guys, if you’re the kind of
readers that enjoy reading stories that revolve on the love and bond between
family and friends, the answer is JODI PICOULT. Definitely! Hers are the best,
and I can guarantee that you will crave for more of her books after you read
one.
Some of Picoult's great novels :
MY SISTER'S
KEEPER
My Sister's Keeper, which was
made into a feature film several years ago, is told from the perspective of
several family members dealing with a daughter who has cancer and another
daughter born of the need for a cord blood donor. The novel explores the
youngest daughter's desire for medical emancipation from her parents and
sisters, but focuses heavily on the tough decisions a parent must make when
confronted with an ill child.
You can also read the full
synopsis of this story here :
HANDLE WITH
CARE
Handle with Care poses an
interesting question. Handle with Care, like many of Picoult's other novels,
explores legalities with the main characters ending up in a court room. This
time, the legal question at hand deals with wrongful birth. If a hospital or
doctor performs an ultrasound and doesn't catch a disability of your baby while
he or she is still in the womb, should they be held responsible for the birth
of the baby that subsequently occurs?

The Pact, which Jodi Picoult has
described on her website as an anti-Romeo and Juliet tale. The families
involved are too close; they encourage the budding romance between a neighbour
boy and a neighbour girl. The novel begins with the two families learning that,
due to an alleged suicide pact between the two teenagers, the girl has died
from a gunshot wound to the head. The boy is still alive, though, and questions
linger regarding the legitimacy of this so called pact. The two families, best
friends throughout their children's childhood, are torn apart by what has
happened, and a court case ensues with the neighbour boy as the defendant.
Through flashbacks throughout the novel, we're given insight to their
childhood, their relationship, their families, and of course what actually
happened the night the pact was carried out.

Salem Falls
A handsome stranger comes to
the sleepy New England town of Salem Falls in hopes of burying his past: Once a
teacher at a girls' prep school, Jack St. Bride was destroyed when a student's
crush sparked a powder keg of accusation. Now, washing dishes for Addie Peabody
at the Do-Or-Diner, he slips quietly into his new routine, and Addie finds this
unassuming man fitting easily inside her heart. But amid the rustic calm of
Salem Falls, a quartet of teenage girls harbor dark secrets -- and they
maliciously target Jack with a shattering allegation. Now, at the center of a
modern-day witch hunt, Jack is forced once again to proclaim his innocence: to
a town searching for answers, to a justice system where truth becomes a
slippery concept written in shades of gray, and to the woman who has come to
love him.
