Now she explores what happens when a young woman's past--a past she didn't even know she had--catches up to her just in time to threaten her future.</b> <p/><i>How do you recover the past when it was never yours to lose?</i> <p/>Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her beloved, widowed father, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiancé, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall...until a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret about herself that changes the world as she knows it--and threatens to jeopardize her future. <p/>With <i>Vanishing Acts</i>, Jodi Picoult explores how life--as we know it--might not turn out the way we imagined; how the people we've loved and trusted can suddenly change before our very eyes; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat. Once again, Picoult handles an astonishing and timely topic with understanding, insight, and compassion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] masterpiece.<br> -- <i>Romantic Times</i><br><br>[R]ichly textured and engaging. <br> -- <i>The Boston Globe</i><br><br>Picoult creates compelling...characters...in a landscape that is fleshed out in rich, journalistic detail, so that readers will come away with intriguing questions.<br> -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>Picoult is a solid, lively storyteller.<br> -- <i>The New York Times</i><br><br>What is it about a Jodi Picoult novel that wraps the reader tighter than a spider's silk in the...intricacies of story?
