Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

So I've finished A Risk Worth Taking by Robin Pilcher. Seems I had read this book before. While I was reading the first few chapters, I kept getting little snippets that seemed familiar. Either that or I'm slightly psychic. Anyway, I must have read it several years ago because I didn't remember the major parts of the book and I don't have it in my vast collection so who knows. Regardless, it was a great book (must have been considering I read it in less than two days) - highly recommended for those who need a quick, easy feel-good read.

I'm now on to my next novel: Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult (pronounced, by the way, "peeko" - I recently found that out - just thought I'd pass on the knowledge for those as stupid as I - probably no one out there). Anyway, as is par for her books, Picoult has written of a woman dealing with a major dilemma in her life. Delia, is a 32 year-old who, with her search and rescue bloodhound makes a living finding missing persons. Raised by her widowed father, she has memories of an idyllic childhood. Suddenly, however, she has a memory that fits nowhere in her past. She tells her good friend (a reporter) which, long story short, ends up revealing a secret that leaves her life in turmoil. The book then delves into Delia's own search for her past and identity. As I'm sure all her novels seem to do, there will be some twist to shock the reader at the end and I look forward to finding out what it is. I'll let you know if it's worth the read.
