Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult

Has any one read it? Is it good? Is it a total downer? My book club picked it for us to read, yet I don't want to read something depressing. TIA

Re: Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult

I love all of Jodi Picoult's books(and I am picky!)

here is the excerpt from her website:

Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who left when she was five. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself with a child of her own. But her mother's absence, and shameful memories of her past, make her doubt both her maternal ability and her sense of self-worth.

Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness by searching for her mother and, eventually, returning to be a mother, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters. Any mother—or child—cannot help but to relate to the issues and emotions explored within this book.


Sounds good I don't think I've read this one
