Jodi Picoult, “A Spark of Life”

#1 New York Times bestselling author of “Small Great Things” presents a powerful story about ordinary lives that intersect during a heart-stopping crisis. The warm fall day starts like any other at the Center—a women’s reproductive health services clinic—its staff offering care to anyone who passes through its doors, until a desperate gunman bursts in and opens fire, taking all inside hostage. Told in a daring narrative structure that counts backward through the hours of the standoff, this is a story that traces its way back to what brought each of these very different individuals to the same place on this fateful day. One of the most fearless writers of our time, Jodi Picoult tackles a complicated issue in this gripping novel.
