About Harvesting the Heart
The novel is divided into three distinct sections: Conception, Growth and Delivery. It reveals rich nuances and complexities in close family relationships like that of mother and child, and husband and wife.
Paige O’Toole has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who left when she was five. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself with a child of her own. But her mother's absence, and shameful memories of her past, make her doubt both her maternal ability and her sense of self-worth.
Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness by searching for her mother and, eventually, returning to be a mother, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters. Any mother— or child— cannot help but to relate to the issues and emotions explored within this book.
