Change of Heart: A Novel

by Jodi Picoult
- Rated 4 stars
“I resisted reading this even though it sat in front of me. Yet once I started reading this, I couldn't put it down. The different views of religion were fascinating and had me thinking more about what I believed in than I had in a long time. Reading this book was like watching a train wreck that you knew was going to happen. You don't want to watch but you can't take your eyes off of it. This is not light and easy reading but I'm glad I read the book. ”
