Have just started reading vanishing acts... by the same author as 'my sisters keeper', Jodi Picoult.
Seems quite good in the begining, will let you kniow what i think!



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 fiancé, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as she plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can’t recall. And when a policemen arrives to disclose a truth that will upend the world as she knows it, Delia must search through these memories – even when they have the potential to devastate her life, and the lives of those she loves most. Vanishing Acts is a book about the nature and power of memory; about what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us… and what happens when the memory we thought had vanished returns as a threat.

It's good but in a different way, it still covers the story from everyone's point of view and throws in their problems as well. I guess I don't find it as emotive because you're not dealing with the possible death of a child itms.
