This was a Book Club read and is sure to spark some good conversation over a controversial topic. Picoult does not shy away from controversy and tries to interweave all the various schools of thought about abortion into her narrative. I doubt whether reading this book will change your mind about the subject (whichever side you come down on), but it is thought provoking. As I was reading the book, I couldn't help but think of Maya Angelou's quote "Hate--it has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it has not solved one yet." Like Picoult, I don't think that we as a society are ever going to agree on this issue. But even on issues where we don't see eye to eye, we need to respect each other's opinions and continue to have honest conversations, instead of demonizing each other.
