A Spark of Light / Jodi Picoult / 352 p.

Jodi Picoult always finds a way to take a controversial topic and help readers to see both sides. This time her topic is abortion. Her epilogue is filled with statistical findings from her research as she was writing this novel. I found the story interesting with several twists (as always with Picoult) that I didn't see coming. No matter what your view is on this topic, A Spark of Light will help you understand the thoughts and views of the other side. I don't think her story will change anyone views, however it will broaden the conversation.
I only gave it four stars because of the repetitiveness throughout the story. I'm not sure why that was done. Perhaps to give the reader the background (again) of why that character felt the way they did. 
This is a good book club read IF your group can agree to disagree on this topic.
