Vanishing Acts

by Jodi Piocoult



I really like Jodi Piocolt books, but I sure don't like myself when I'm finished with one. Her books make me so moody! She also amazes me by being able to write feelings and ideas for a character that I thought were all mine! This book wasn't any different.



Delia has led a happy life even though her mother died when she was little. She has been raised by her father, she has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, a devoted best friend, and her own search-and-rescue business where she finds lost people with blood hounds. Then a policeman knocks on her door and reveals a secret that changes her life forever.

Quotes I like:

"Motherhood is elemental, cellular. You could feel a child inside of you, even after you gave birth. Share blood and tissue for that long and you become part of each other. And if that child died- as an embryo, as a newborn, as a 13 year old- a part of you would die too."
