Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

Vanishing Acts: A Novel

How do you recover the past when it was never yours to lose?
 
Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her beloved, widowed father, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall...until a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret about herself that changes the world as she knows it -- and threatens to jeopardize her future. With Vanishing Acts, Jodi Picoult explores how life -- as we know it -- might not turn out the way we imagined; how the people we've loved and trusted can suddenly change before our very eyes; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat. Once again, Picoult handles an astonishing and timely topic with under-standing, insight, and compassion. 

 Yet another work of art by Jody Picoult..  This is a great story and following Delia through her journey of discovery was so interesting and compelling I could not stop reading it!  The copy that I have is 417 pages long and I think it only took me two days to read.....
