“How do you recover the past when it was never yours to lose? Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her beloved, widowed father, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can"t recall...until a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret about herself that changes the world as she knows it — and threatens to jeopardize her future. With Vanishing Acts, Jodi Picoult explores how life — as we know it — might not turn out the way we imagined; how the people we"ve loved and trusted can suddenly change before our very eyes; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat. Once again, Picoult handles an astonishing and timely topic with under-standing, insight, and compassion.”
The central questions in Jodi Picoult"s Vanishing Acts is what do you do when you find out your life is a lie? Delia Hopkins lives in New Hampshire with her lovely daughter, helps find missing persons, and is planning her wedding. She was raised by her father after her mother died in a car accident when she was 4 years old. One day the police arrive to arrest her father and Delia is shocked to discover that much of what she"s been old is a lie. With the help of her friends since childhood, Fitz and Eric, Delia sets out to find just where the truth lies and which memories she has are true. In a life upset by falsehoods, she must also find her place in the world again. Vanishing Acts has received mixed reviews with the Rocky Mountain News saying, "Extraordinarily detailed, Picoult"s exhaustive work fills Vanishing Acts to the brim with realistic suspense, suggesting that often what we choose to remember doesn"t astound us nearly as much as what we choose to forget."
