Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult

"Things break all the time.
Day breaks, waves break, voices breaks.
Promises break.
Hearts break."

Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe wished they were given a choice for a healthy baby. But 5-year-old Willow was born with a disease that causes her bones to break all the time, even when rolling over in her sleep. Is it all worth it when she is incredibly intelligent and just as beautiful as her mother? What if Charlotte should have known Willow's illness earlier? What if Willow had never been born?For the sake of Willow's justice, and as the trial progresses, is it all worth it when you have to break apart your closest friendships and family ties?

A beautiful creation and a delicious page-turner.

"We got problems,
we don't know how to solve them,
everywhere we go,
we got some skeletons to follow,
we got baggage,
you know we're going to drag it,
everywhere we go,
for everyone to see."
