July 1, 2017
Madeleine Harrington and Kate O'Hara just wanted to keep their children safe. As any parent knows, the decisions are often plentiful, and the consequences are often murky. Are you a helicopter parent or a free-range one? Do you buy the pricey organic food or what's on sale? Do you swaddle, co-sleep, or just grab a minute of shut-eye when you can? Kate and Madeleine find themselves at the center of a vaccination debate that rocks their small town of Knockroe, just outside Dublin. When a measles outbreak threatens the life of Kate's daughter and gains worldwide attention, the formerly tight-knit town takes sides. Kate and Madeleine have to defend their positions in a high-profile legal case, airing opinions they'd only ever shared with closest friends and family. Hill has her finger on the vaccination zeitgeist, offering savvy and well-researched points on a touchy subject. The driving pace and small-town setting make this perfect book-club bait, ideal for discussing tough decisions and happy endings with friends and loved ones. Fans of Meg Wolitzer and Emily Giffin will devour this introspective and enlightening novel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
