Vanishing Acts

Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father, she now has a young daughter, handsome fiance, and her own search-and-rescue dog, which she uses to find missing persons. One day a police officer knocks on her door, revealing a secret that changes the world as she knows it. In shock and confusion, Delia must sift through the truth--even when it jeopardizes her life and the lives of those she loves. Picoult explores how life might not turn out the way we imagined; how doing the right thing could mean doing the wrong thing; how the memory we though had vanished could return as a threat. Once again, she handles a difficult subject with insight and compassion.
