When Charlotte and Sean O’Keefe’s daughter, Willow, is born with severe osteogenesis imperfecta, they are devastated – she will suffer hundreds of broken bones as she grows, a lifetime of pain. As the family struggles to make ends meet to cover Willow’s medical expenses, Charlotte thinks she has found an answer. If she files a wrongful birth lawsuit against her ob/gyn for not telling her in advance that her child would be born severely disabled, the monetary payouts might ensure a lifetime of care for Willow. But it means that Charlotte has to get up in a court of law and say in public that she would have terminated the pregnancy if she’d known about the disability in advance – words that her husband can’t abide, that Willow will hear, and that Charlotte cannot reconcile. And the ob/gyn she’s suing isn’t just her physician – it’s her best friend.

In diesem Roman geht es um ein Mädchen, das mit Osteogenesis imperfecta, der Glasknochenkrankheit, geboren wurde. Wie immer erzählt Picoult aus den verschiedenen Perspektiven: Der Mutter, dem Vater, d...

The ending was so awful, I'd advise you stop reading before the final chapter. The rest of the book was good, though.
