by Picoult, Jodi A mother who has lost her family to a horrendous act is facing the death of her only remaining child; a man sitting on death row awaits the end of his life searching for redemption and another wrestles with the guilt of having sentenced him to die. All of these characters inhabit Jodi Picoult?s Change of Heart, a twisting work of faith, love and revenge fraught with many of the most important moral and ethical topics of our time. One child?s chance at life through the heart of her family?s convicted killer hangs in the balance. Is revenge the way to heal or does forgiveness allow the heart to go on? Picoult shows more often than not there is no clear cut answer. - reviewed by Courtney, South County Regional, PLCMC {mosgoogle}
