Songs of the Humpback Whale a great trip

Let Jodi Picoult take you cross-country in a search for love, an identity and most of all a family connection.

Picoult tells the story through the voices of the main characters and chooses different points of the story to illustrate - don't look for the story to go from beginning to end. the chronologically challenged may find it hard to follow, but the style lends a unique sense of intrigue and interest to read the story. It's hard to put down once you are locked into the story.

For any mother and daughter or woman who has questioned the reasoning for her marriage, this is a book to explore. It may help you find the answers you - and the characters in this book - are looking for.

The tale of the cross-country trip paints a pretty backdrop to exploration of a family dynamic that is near implosion.

I recommend the book by New York Times bestselling author. It's worth the money for the journey she takes with you.
