Although this book was written in 1985, it is relevant to trends in the country that combine politics with sex, reproduction and women's individual rights of choice .

Jodi Picoult writes about perspectives, culture, relationships in a fully absorbing story. Once I started this book, I had to keep reading to see what happens next. Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of the Deep End of the Ocean says it best "the author wraps the reader tighter than a spider's silk in the inticracies of the story. Never more gripping is the master plotter than in this, the story of Delia Hopkins." You cannot put it down once you start it.
