      Conceived to provide a bone marrow match for her leukemia-stricken sister, teenage Kate begins to question her moral obligations amid numerous medical procedures and fights for the right to make decisions about her own body. New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult explores the emotionally charged dynamics of a family divided by conflicting needs and a love that endures despite human frailty. Anna, though not sick, has undergone countless surgeries and treatments to support her sister, Kate, who has battled leukemia since childhood. As a product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived specifically to be a match for Kate—a role she has accepted without question until now. Like many teenagers, Anna is starting to explore her identity, but unlike most, she has always been defined by her sister's needs. This leads her to make a shocking decision that threatens to fracture her family and could have dire consequences for Kate. The narrative delves into the complexities of being a good parent, sister, and person. It raises profound questions about the morality of sacrificing one for another's life, the pursuit of self-discovery, and the struggle between following one's heart versus conforming to familial expectations. Picoult addresses these themes with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

      1582. A più di mezzo secolo dall'affissione delle tesi di Lutero, in un'insignificante cittadina tedesca l'implacabile braccio dell'Inquisizione sconvolge l'esistenza di Giustino, giovane scalpellino di talento ammaliato dal fascino della cultura e dell'arte. Sospettato di eresia e coinvolto in una passione travolgente ma condannata dalla morale comune, non gli rimane che la via della fuga. Ma Giustino ha con sé un'arma più temibile di qualunque rogo: un libro dimenticato che minaccia di distruggere l'intera istituzione ecclesiastica. Nella Roma rinascimentale la corruzione dilaga anche tra i ministri della fede, e qui Giustino dovrà fare i conti con una Chiesa disposta a tutto pur di mantenere saldo il proprio potere e il proprio prestigio.

      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 fiancé, and her own Search and Rescue bloodhound - which she uses to find missing persons. But as she plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall. Then a policeman shows up at her door, arresting her father for the kidnap of a little girl. And Delia's past and present fracture into little pieces. VANISHING ACTS is a book about the very nature and power of memory. It explores what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us, and questions who we trust to tell us the story of our lives before we are capable of remembering it ourselves.
