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. 3254054 book 15 11 2005 Vanishing Acts: A Novel total:16584|5:2621|4:6156|3:6082|2:1436|1:289| 16584 59136 21364 1530 2 7 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 22 13:36:05 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 07:16:33 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 6 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 21 17:30:50 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 11 18:38:26 -0800 2008 Jodi Picoult's books for the last couple of weeks and was really disappointed by this book.
