It is a picture-perfect life.
That is what everyone thinks when they see Cassie and Alex.
Cassie is a well-known anthropologist. Alex Revers is a renowned actor and director who will sweep the Oscars with his new film.
Their wedding and marriage life was picture perfect for outsiders. But, there were skeletons in the closet.
Both of them had traumatic childhoods.
Will discovered Cassie when she showed up at the graveyard with a head injury and no memory of how she got there. As the story progresses, Cassie remembers everything that happened.
Then to protect her unborn baby from Alex, she turns to Will for help. Will helped her to hide from the world she knew. But, when the baby is born, she goes back to Alex.
Ahe has her past to blame for going back to the abuser. When she realizes for the sake of her baby, she has to leave Alex.
In the end, she takes her life and freedom back. Picoult is not bringing a happily ever after Cassie with Will, though.
The book describes the life of the Indians in the Lakota reserve. I liked that. But, I was pissed off at some point with Cassie trying to live the life for Alex.
But, it is the way the author wants it.
Ever tried any book by Jodi Picoult?
