"Music soothes the savage soul."
I don't remember who first coined this phrase, but I recalled it as I read about Zoe Baxter, a music therapist who tries very hard to reconcile herself to a failed marriage, tough decisions about parenthood, and struggles with patients and families who doubt the effectiveness of music as a healing force.
Jodi Picoult, again, addresses a controversial and politically divisive subject. She explores the definition of family and the legal and moral issues associated with the concept of this phenomenon in our modern culture.
I could not put this book down. I read it on the trip home from Florida and recommended it to friends after I explained the issues Picoult addresses in her newest novel. Read it with an open mind.
