One of the things I enjoy most about Jodi Picoult's novels is the interesting worlds she explores. Much like Dick Francis, I leave her novels with my interests piqued about whatever topic she covers, and I want to continue learning more after I am done. In this book, she centers her family drama around wolves and wolf behavior. It wouldn't be a Jodi Picoult book without family dynamics, a medical or legal issue, and an interesting topic. I enjoyed this one. 4 stars.
