Description

The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author and “master of the craft of storytelling” (Associated Press) weaves a spellbinding tale of a mother’s tragic loss and one man’s chance at salvation.

One moment June Nealon is happily looking forward to years of love and laughter with her family. The next, she is facing a future as empty as her heart as she waits for a miracle.

For Shay Bourne, life has no more surprises, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, his life is changed by one last chance for redemption through June’s young daughter, Claire. But between June and Shay lies an ocean of bitter regrets and a mother’s rage.

Would you give up revenge against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy’s dying wish?

Soul-stirring and haunting, Change of Heart is “another ripped-from-the-zeitgeist winner” (Publishers Weekly) from Jodi Picoult.

    I loved this book! Whenever i can guess the ending, or part of an ending, I have to take away a star. In this case, I knew from the very beginning that this man had interrupted a scene of sexual abuse, which led to the unfortunate and additional killing of the little Elizabeth. I felt that was obvious. The rest of the book though …. Magical! And the ending was superb! Love me some Jodi Picoult and on to the next one!

    If someone told me about the religious discussion of the book, I’d probably pass. I was hooked by the sample chapters I read yesterday morning, immediately purchased and consumed straight through. I’ll likely update after I think about it further. ⚠️ POTENTIAL SPOILER BELOW ⚠️ One thing I do wish for was more of a follow-up for June in regard to the information she gleans about her family toward the end of the book. Wouldn’t she want to be certain and if so, move Elizabeth elsewhere?

    This is a beautiful story! You might ask how a book about a murder and the man convicted of it be beautiful, you just have to read it! It was so emotional to learn Shay’s story. The author is a favorite of mine. She never disappoints! Highly recommend.

    It would have been great if it had been an original idea. Total ripoff of The Green Mile.

    I'd give this book infinite stars if possible!! I love how the storyline intertwined with the lives of the characters and the ultimate surprise at the ending makes this definitely a "tear-jerking" book. I caught myself crying on the subway on my way home from work, while reading this book. One moment I laughed and the next I reached for tissue. I loved it. This is defined let the best novels I've ever read in my life! (And I've read a lot of novels)
