Product Description

Product Description

Things break all the time.
Day breaks, waves break, voices break.
Promises break.
Hearts break.

Every expectant parent will tell you that they don't want a perfect baby, just a healthy one. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe would have asked for a healthy baby, too, if they'd been given the choice. Instead, their lives are made up of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of "luckier" parents, and maybe worst of all, the what-ifs. What if their child had been born healthy? But it's all worth it because Willow is, well, funny as it seems, perfect. She's smart as a whip, on her way to being as pretty as her mother, kind, brave, and for a five-year-old an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom. Willow is Willow, in sickness and in health.

Everything changes, though, after a series of events forces Charlotte and her husband to confront the most serious what-ifs of all. What if Charlotte should have known earlier of Willow's illness? What if things could have been different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? To do Willow justice, Charlotte must ask herself these questions and one more. What constitutes a valuable life?

Emotionally riveting and profoundly moving, Handle with Care brings us into the heart of a family bound by an incredible burden, a desperate will to keep their ties from breaking, and, ultimately, a powerful capacity for love. Written with the grace and wisdom she's become famous for, beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult offers us an unforgettable novel about the fragility of life and the lengths we will go to protect it.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good., Mar 11 2009
By a reader - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
As usual, Ms. Picoult has written a book that is at once deep, dark and disturbing. The story of the daughter and the parents who will go to any length to protect her is nothing short of heart-wrenching. I just thought it was so good. Another good one: Any Man: A Fictionalized Account of Something That Really Happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good read, Sep 18 2009
By Mary-jo Bonikowsky "stillsmiling" (ontario canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is yet another example of Jodi Picoult's fine writing. The story draws you in from the beginning and keeps you reading right to the end. I did not want to put it down. Very thought provoking. You really feel for all the characters and it becomes hard to imagine what you might do in a similar situation. The end had a twist and was sad, but not unpredictable. If you like Picoult, you will want to read this book.
