      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.

      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.
