Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

I'm now on to my next novel: Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult (pronounced, by the way, "peeko" - I recently found that out - just thought I'd pass on the knowledge for those as stupid as I - probably no one out there). Anyway, as is par for her books, Picoult has written of a woman dealing with a major dilemma in her life. Delia, is a 32 year-old who, with her search and rescue bloodhound makes a living finding missing persons. Raised by her widowed father, she has memories of an idyllic childhood. Suddenly, however, she has a memory that fits nowhere in her past. She tells her good friend (a reporter) which, long story short, ends up revealing a secret that leaves her life in turmoil. The book then delves into Delia's own search for her past and identity. As I'm sure all her novels seem to do, there will be some twist to shock the reader at the end and I look forward to finding out what it is. I'll let you know if it's worth the read.

Update:  Well, I finished Jodi Picoult's Vanishing Acts. It was really good. There really wasn't any "shocker" at the end - it was pretty predictable but definitely good.
