Summary from Goodreads:
Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father, Andrew, 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. And then a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret that changes the world as she knows it." In shock and confusion, Delia must sift through the truth - even when it jeopardizes her life and the lives of those she loves. What happens when you learn you are not who you thought you were? When the people you've loved and trusted suddenly change before your eyes? When getting your deepest wish means giving up what you've always taken for granted? Vanishing Acts explores how life - as we know it - might not turn out the way we imagined; how doing the right thing could mean doing the wrong thing; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat.
Review:
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult is a powerful, emotionally charged novel that delves into memory, identity, and the weight of our past. When Delia Hopkins discovers that the life she’s known was built on a lie, the story unfolds with the kind of depth and moral complexity that Picoult does best. The courtroom drama is compelling, the shifting perspectives are masterfully done, and the emotional stakes are sky high. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the characters' tangled histories and the difficult choices they face. Thought provoking and beautifully written, this book left a lasting impression. A solid 5 star read that reminds you how fragile and resilient the human spirit can be.
