Change of Heart

fullDescription

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.

     January 21, 2008
     Picoult bangs out another ripped-from-the-zeitgeist winner, this time examining a condemned inmate’s desire to be an organ donor. Freelance carpenter Shay Bourne was sentenced to death for killing a little girl, Elizabeth Nealon, and her cop stepfather. Eleven years after the murders, Elizabeth’s sister, Claire, needs a heart transplant, and Shay volunteers, which complicates the state’s execution plans. Meanwhile, death row has been the scene of some odd events since Shay’s arrival—an AIDS victim goes into remission, an inmate’s pet bird dies and is brought back to life, wine flows from the water faucets. The author brings other compelling elements to an already complex plot line: the priest who serves as Shay’s spiritual adviser was on the jury that sentenced him; Shay’s ACLU representative, Maggie Bloom, balances her professional moxie with her negative self-image and difficult relationship with her mother. Picoult moves the story along with lively debates about prisoner rights and religion, while plumbing the depths of mother-daughter relationships and examining the literal and metaphorical meanings of having heart. The point-of-view switches are abrupt, but this is a small flaw in an impressive book. 1,000,000-million copy first printing.

     Noted for her heart-wrenching stories and the complicated humanity of her characters, Picoult ("The Tenth Circle; My Sister's Keeper") continues her successful foray into fiction. In her new novel, she delves into questions of faith, vengeance, and redemption by exploring the rage of a mother who has lost a daughter, the bitterness of a criminal on death row, and the fate of a critically ill child that forces them together one last time to test the question, Can even the most understandable thirst for vengeance be quashed if it means saving someone you love? Picoult tackles the most complicated personal and political issues with compassion and clarity, and her fans will want this one. Suitable for all public libraries.Colleen S. Harris, Univ. of Tennessee Lib. at Chattanooga

     Picoult engineers high-impact plots involving murder, car accidents, child abuse, medical ethics, and a school shooting not simply to sweep readers away with there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I melodrama and suspense but also to craft provocative and relevant moral dilemmas rich in nuance, mystery, and wit. Following the success of Nineteen Minutes (2007) and with a movie version of My Sisters Keeper (2004) on the way, Picoult presents her fifteenth shrewd and dynamic novel, a compulsively readable saga and dramatic critique of capital punishment. She also seems determined to give The Da Vinci Code (2003) a run for its money. Shay Bourne, an enigmatic 33-year-old carpenter, has been sentenced to death in New Hampshire for the murders of a police officer and his stepdaughter. Their surviving wife and mother was pregnant at the time, and now her 11-year-old daughter needs a heart transplant. Guess who wants to help, and guess who seems to be performing miracles in prison.Shay attracts appealing champions: young Father Michael, who served on the jury that condemned Shay to death; wisecracking, plus-size Maggie, a rabbis daughter and ACLU attorney; and artistic Lucius, who is serving one life sentence for murder and another due to AIDS. Laced with intriguing musings on the Gnostic Gospels, Picoultsbold story of loss, justice, redemption, and faith reminds us how tragically truth can be concealed and denied.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)

     April 28, 2008
     A cast of four narrators (plus one extra for the epilogue) read Picoult's latest melodramatic take on an interesting social dilemma. Death-row inmate Shay Bourne, convicted of murdering a little girl and her cop stepfather, wants to donate his heart to the little girl's sister, who requires a transplant. ACLU lawyer Maggie Bloom (voiced by Danielle Ferland) and Fr. Michael Wright (played by Stafford Clark-Price) attempt to carry out Shay's wishes. Meanwhile, as apparent miracles begin happening in the prison, some wonder if Shay is some sort of messiah. As the overlong book drags on, the narrators do their best to keep the story moving and hold listeners' interest. Ferland effectively inhabits Maggie and James Frangione's calm baritone does much to engender sympathy for Shay's fellow inmate, Lucius. However, listeners may have a tough time getting to the painfully obvious revelation of the truth about Shay's crimes and the book's long-foregone conclusion. Simultaneous release with the Atria hardcover (Reviews, Jan. 21).
