I read Change of Heart for my book club. I liked it, but there were parts I didn't like. It was typical Jodi Picoult in that she writes from each character's point of view. I like that. The story centers around a young man from a dysfunctional childhood that is accused of killing a cop and his step daughter. The cop's wife is pregnant with their child, and when their daughter is eleven, she needs a heart transplant. The only available donor is the young man who killed her family. He is on death row, but death by lethal injection makes organs not viable. As usual with Jodi Picoult novels, there are all kinds of extenuating circumstances, and many other people involved. For readers who like Jodi Picoult, you won't be disappointed.
