Harvesting the Heart explores the story of a young woman overcome by
the demands of having a family. Written with astonishing clarity and
evocative detail, convincing in its depiction of emotional pain, love
and vulnerability, Harvesting the Heart recalls the writing of Alice
Hoffman and Sue Miller.
Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who left when she
was five. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of
art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself
with a child of her own. But her mother's absence, and shameful memories
of her past, make her doubt both her maternal ability and her sense of
self-worth.
Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness by searching for her mother and, eventually, returning to be a mother, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters. Any mother—or child—cannot help but to relate to the issues and emotions explored within this book.
