Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Jodi Picoult for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel.
This book takes place over one day at an abortion clinic in Mississippi as a desperate father bursts through the doors and starts shooting, taking all of the people inside hostage. The hostage negotiator soon learns his 15-year-old daughter is inside, along with his older sister.
This is a wonderful book of characters. The book goes back in time and gives the reader background into each of the people inside as well as Hugh. I also loved the story behind the title.
As always, Jodi Picoult takes a controversial issue and makes you see all sides of it. While it may not change anyone's opinions on the subject, it may open our hearts to understand others' stories and opinions too.
