The one thing that Picoult does perfectly is to leave you feeling torn. The book did so well it is and is now a major motion picture starring Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin.
This book touches on a wide range of mental health issues, however, the author does not convey the intensity of the afflicted but instead diverts focus more on the proceedings which are set in a courtroom. In an era where dramas like 13 Reasons Why have been well-received The Pact was a pioneering piece that made us question a side of our society that mainstream media did not feel comfortable shedding light on.

Ellie has been trying to have children of her own, and now in her late 30s, she is trying to come to terms with the possibility that the window of opportunity might have closed. This makes it especially difficult for her to defend Katie. This multi-narrative tale explores the intricacies of Amish life and what happens when it comes to clash with the modern-day legal system.

Jodi Picoult fans rejoice! A Spark of Light A powerful and provocative novel about ordinary lives that intersect during a heart-stopping crisis. Picoult sees humans at their best, while understanding them at their most fragile.
The story is told in real time, but backwards, a startlingly effective framing device as its texture and tone take on a greater weight than the events it is comprised of A Spark Of Light is about love and pain, but Picoult never tells you how to feel. The difficult self awareness is what sustains this book It's also exciting to have a high-profile writer like Picoult take an earnest risk to expand our cultural conversation about race and prejudice.

Police officer Cameron McDonald is put in a terrible position when his cousin Jamie confesses that he killed his wife, who was terminally ill with cancer. Due to the moral grayness of the crime, Cameron is soon at odds with his wife Allie about the arrest, as everyone has an opinion about what Jamie did and whether it was truly a crime.
The plot mostly focuses on the dynamic between Cameron and Allie, and to be frank, they are downright unlikable at times. Mercy is moving and thought-provoking, but it does have some serious faults. To add to her grief, her daughter Claire is in desperate need of a heart transplant, and as the only family June has left, she has to find a way to save her daughter.
While the concept is ambitious, and largely why this novel still appears on this list, the execution is lacking. An infant is found dead on an Amish farm shortly after birth.
Plain Truth is intriguing, but it is last on this list for being implausible. The book will grip you, but not always for the right reasons, and in a way that will leave you feeling frustrated for the time you invested.
