Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult

[Crumb]

Exceptional.. an easy five star.
Social Issues:
Child Abuse

Consider this:

What would you do in the name of justice? What would you do if someone harmed your child? And what would you do to protect them?

These are the questions Nina Frost was faced with after she found out that her son, Nathaniel, was sexually abused. Nina made a living as an assistant district attorney. Her job was to prosecute the child molestors and rapists that preyed on little girls and boys. In her subconscious, she reasoned with herself that through this line of work, her perfect world could never be touched by the poison that she had locked away on a daily basis.

How could Nina be so wrong?

When I pick up a book by Jodi Picoult, I know I am being placed in capable hands. She is an expert at the art of the written word. She is unafraid to approach controversial and sensitive topics and does so with grace and refinement. If I could use one word to describe this book.. it would simply be exceptional.
