Jodi Picoult is the author of over twenty books which have sold over 14 million copies and have been adapted for both film and television; her novels are hotly anticipated and are guaranteed best sellers so the opportunity to meet the author is something many readers relish.

When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father.
What the nurse, her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how this death will irrevocably change all of their lives, in ways both expected and not.
