Removing the heart

Paige, a young woman with artistic ambitions, is trying to come to terms with a past that weighs heavily on her – the mother who abandoned her, and her own insecurities. When she becomes a mother herself, her fear of failure forces her to seek answers to questions about her identity and how to properly fulfil her maternal role. She embarks on a metaphorical journey towards forgiveness, love, and understanding herself and others. With her typical sensitivity and deep insight, Jodi Picoult explores themes that will resonate with anyone who has ever doubted their own abilities but still found the strength to carry on and never give up.
