Handle With Care

Another great battle of childcare from Jodi Picoult. Willow was born brittle. Exactly, brittle. A slight fall will caused her to break bones more than what one's parents could have imagined. By the time she was 5, she had broken bones in almost most of her body.

Charlotte and Sean, their daughters, Amelia and Willow planned for a Disney trip for a vacation. Amelia who is several years older had never been to any vacation due to her sister's health. She was really excited and already planned which rides she wanted to go for. But the trip was cut short. Willow had a fall, and her bones break.

Charlotte, who had many heartbreaks with her child condition decided to sue her doctor for wrongful birth action. But then again, the doctor was her best friend. Now with everything at stake, her child's health, her husband's concern, her best friend's relationship and her dwindling bank account, she raised the filesuit and headed in strongly.

Written in a few characters perspective, the story unfolds slowly. But eventually it ended with a heartbreak.

The reader's review:
Another great battle of childcare. The book reader is a Jodi Picoult's fan. :)

Overall: 4.5 out of 5.0 stars
