Description

A life hanging in the balance…a family torn apart—New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells an unforgettable story about family secrets, love, and letting go.

On an icy winter night, a terrible accident forces a family divided to come together and make a fateful decision. Cara, once protected by her father, Luke, is tormented by a secret that nobody knows. Her brother, Edward, has secrets of his own. He has kept them hidden, but now they may come to light, and if they do, Cara will be devastated. Their mother, Georgie, was never able to compete with her ex-husband’s obsessions, and now, his fate hangs in the balance and in the hands of her children. With conflicting motivations and emotions, what will this family decide? And will they be able to live with that decision, after the truth has been revealed? What happens when the hope that should sustain a family is the very thing tearing it apart?

    First book that I read by Jodi Picoult. It was amazing. I had my doubts when I first started because each chapter was a different story. It was very well written that kept me reading. Everything still tied together and made sense. Great insights into the human and wolf psyche. Excellent read until the very last page.

    I don’t know how you come up with these poignant characters, the settings, and the points of conflict that are relevant to modern life. When I first read THE STORYTELLER, I couldn’t put it down. LONE WOLF kept me up much later than I intended. This book was excellent. Noreen

    If you want a complete education about wolves and the dynamics of a wolf pack, read away! If, however, you're looking for a juicy vacation read, this snooze feet is for you.

    The book is great. But on my ereader, the final page of each chapter is repeated about 10 times. Very annoying, especially since it could be fixed.

    Disappointing. I read through it skipping over many of the chapters, in hopes the ending would be great. Good author, but don't spend your download on this one.

    I am a huge jodi picoult fan, but her last few books have felt a bit formulaic with the lawsuits, tough questions, ending that wraps up like a christmas ribbon. (she is mary higgins clark for the ivy league set.) i enjoyed this book, though I skipped some of the wolf stuff. Id like to see Jodi experiment a bit more with her next book. And, as I wrote in another review, enough with the point of view chapters. They're overused in today's chick reads.
  • Incredible
