So I finished this book earlier this week, and was so moved by the story. I loved it! I wanted to share a couple of my favorite quotes from the book. "In my previous life I was a civil attorney. At one point I truly believed that was what I wanted to be - but that was before I'd been handed a fistful of crused violets from a toddler. Before i understood that the smile of a child is a tattoo: inedible art."
"A photo says, 'You were happy, and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, 'You were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch'."
"I realize then that we never have children, we recieve them."

Oooooo! Those are awesome quotes.
Now I am totally intrigued by what the book is about.
Amen Sista!!
This was my favorite book by Jodie Picoult; super moving! You've got to read Plain Truth next!
Loved the quotes; so true!
Can't wait to see you! A little over one week and counting! Yeah! :0)
I actually read this because one of the residents I was working with when I was doing pediatric oncology (mostly leukemia kids) loved it. I hated it. I'm getting pickier as I get older.
This is one of my all-time favorite books and by far my fav Picoult! Such a powerful story!
Oh, and I hear you are coming down to the sunshine state soon! So exciting! Hopefully, we will get to hang out a little while you are in town!
