OK, after this book, I can admit it. I am a huge Jodi Picoult fan. Now I'm scouring her list of books to see if there are any I have missed. "Change of Heart" is a great story that explores and opens up the topics of medical donations, capital punishment, organized religion, forgiveness and survival. Jodi is just telling a story but she's also doing our society a public service by exploring some very tough topics. I had just finished her other book, "Finding Faith" recently. In that book a man called Ian Fletcher is an atheist on television. Strangely, he shows up again in this book to testify in a court trial where a convicted death-row prisoner asks to be hanged instead of receiving lethal injection The prisoner wants this so he can donate his heart to the daughter of a woman who's husband and child he was convicted of killing. This was a very good book. I highly recommend it.
