First, I think Jodi Picoult is a well versed writer who gives readers options, and shows two sides of an issue so passionately that a reader may find themselves on the opposite side of an issue than what they normally would be. This book however was not one of her best, in my opinion. I found myself skimming paragraphs in the last 2/3 of the book when it should be the most enticing. I think the issue she wrote about could have been a page turner, but I became bored with the Native American references and life on the reservation. (For the record I do have a Native American heritage and ancestors). I guess I couldn't tie it in enough in my mind to the topic at hand. Please know if you did read this book and it was your first Jodi Picoult novel, there are so many of her books that are worth reading and will keep you, the reader, wanting more. This just isn't one of them in my opinion.
