When Molly Fitzgerald was just two months old, her mother left for an appointment at the World Trade Center on September 11. She never came home. Now an emergency specialist, Molly’s life mission is to always be prepared for the unexpected. But twists in marriage and new motherhood throw her carefully curated state of ’readiness’ into turmoil. What follows is a riveting exploration of the weight of inherited grief, the fragility of trust, and the lengths we go to in order to protect the people we love (and ourselves). With reprised characters from the bestselling My Sister’s Keeper (read: spoilers), this is Picoult at her best – an un-put-downable novel that unflinchingly flays open ethical dilemmas and visceral human experiences.
