Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult is a new find for me. I've listened to a few of her books and have yet to be disappointed. I just finished listening to Vanishing Acts, which is about Delia, a woman who finds out her father took her away from her mother when she was 4 years old - she grew up believing that her mother was dead. The bulk of the story is about Delia and Eric, her attorney fiance. Delia has convinced Eric to represent her father Andrew in the kidnapping case. The story goes through 4 different points of view; Delia, Andrew, Eric and Fitz (Delia and Eric's best friend). Each telling their perspective of what is currently happening, with some flashbacks thrown in.

This story was amazing, with a few curve balls thrown in and a couple unexpected turns. Mothers, fathers you should definitely read (or listen to) this book. It was an eye opener.
