THINGS BREAK ALL THE TIME. DAY BREAKS, WAVES BREAK, VOICES BREAK, PROMISES BREAK, HEARTS BREAK.... Every expectant parent will tell you that they don't want a perfect baby, just a healthy one. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe would have asked for a healthy baby, too, if they'd been given the choice. Instead, their lives are made up of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of "luckier" parents, and maybe worst of all, the what-ifs. What if their child had been born healthy? But it is all worth it because Willow is, well, funny as it seems, perfect. She is smart as a whip, on her way to being pretty as her mother, kind, brave, and for a five year old, an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom. Willow is Willow, in sickness and in health. Everything changes, though, after a series of events forces Charlotte and her husband to confront the most serious what-ifs of all. What if Charlotte should have known earlier of Willow's illness? What if things could have been different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? To do Willow justice, Charlotte must ask herself these questions and one more. What constitutes a valuable life? Emotionally riveting and profoundly moving, Handle with Care brings us into the heart of a family bound by an incredible burden, a desperate will to keep their ties from breaking, and, ultimately, a powerful capacity for love. With the grace and wisdom she has become famous for, this novel by beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult offers us an unforgettable story about the fragility of life and the lengths we will go to protect it. Praise for Jodi Picoult: Picoult is a skilled wordsmith, and she beautifully creates situations that not only provoke the mind but touch the flawed souls in all of us; Picoult is a rare writer who delivers book after book, a winning combination of the literary and the commercial. No reader can possibly foresee the book's stunning denouement. This is vintage Picoult, expertly crafted, thought-provoking and compelling. Don't miss this one - it is a wonderful read and a keeper. Read once by seller; non-smoking home; Book and dust jacket in like-new condition. Retail price US $27.95; Canada $34.99. Seller will combine shipping. See seller's other books for sale.
