The Sunday Times bestseller from the queen of emotional dilemma fiction Jodi Picoult.
Zoe and Max Baxter spent ten years trying to conceive, until the heartbreak of their failure finally broke their marriage apart.
After the dissolution of their marriage, each seems on their own path to healing, as Max turns himself towards an evangelical church whilst Zoe finds solace in a new relationship with a woman, Vanessa. But when Zoe and Vanessa approach Max asking to use the frozen embryos left from their marriage, their paths come hurtling face to face.
In Max's eyes, Zoe and Vanessa's desire to raise a child together is an aberration.
And Zoe is not prepared to let her desire for a child go without a fight.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Picoult's overstuffed latest (after House Rules) is stretched just to the breaking point. Max and Zoe's marriage, stressed by infertility problems and miscarriages, is finally destroyed by a stillborn baby. After their divorce, Max moves in with his brother and sister-in-law, Reid and Liddy, and backslides into self-destructive drinking, while Zoe devotes herself to music therapy (the book is accompanied by a CD in Zoe's voice, with awkward lyrics by Picoult) and develops a friendship with guidance counselor Vanessa that eventually turns into love and marriage. Max, meanwhile, converts to an evangelical brand of Christianity that pits him against Zoe when she asks Max for permission to use their frozen embryos. Max's discomfort with Zoe's same-sex relationship and his desire to repay Reid and Liddy, who have their own fertility problems, mean a legal battle looms. Picoult abandons her usual efforts to present an equal view of both sides of an issue Max is a pitiful right-wing puppet; Zoe, Vanessa, and their attorney are saintly but her devoted fans will nevertheless find everything they expect: big emotion, diligent research, legal conflict, and a few twists at the end.
