Description
Charlotte O'Keefe faces an unimaginable choice when her daughter, Willow, is born with a severe brittle bone disease. As Willow's condition necessitates constant, costly medical care, Charlotte decides to sue her obstetrician, who also happens to be her closest friend, for wrongful birth. This legal battle forces Charlotte to publicly declare she would have terminated the pregnancy had she known of Willow's disability, raising profound ethical questions about the value of life and the extent of parental love. Jodi Picoult masterfully explores the complex intersection of medical ethics, personal morality, and the fierce determination of a mother fighting for her child's future.
