Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult
Very similar to her other books - good character development, lots of research about hot topics...this one is about a child who is born with "brittle bone disease." Picoult asks the tough question about whether or not parents would choose to abort a child if they knew it would be disabled. Also the impact of a child with disabilities on the rest of the family. Even though the story was somewhat predictable (since I've read all or most of her other books), I still enjoyed this one.

Did you ever see "My Sister's Keeper?" I read several of her books and they just always killed me so I couldn't imagine watching a movie from one of them. I went through a major Jodi phase and read several at once but the pattern got old - as they usually do - so its' been awhile since I've read any of her books. This does sound like an interesting topic though, I do like the discussions she brings up in her books - they are always thought provoking.
