Net als het ernaar uitziet dat haar droom in vervulling zal gaan, stort haar wereld in. Haar man verlaat haar en Zoe wijdt zich aan haar carrière als muziektherapeut. Wanneer ze een baan accepteert bij schooldecaan Vanessa Shaw groeit hun zakelijke relatie uit tot een liefdesverhouding. Na verloop van tijd willen Zoe en Vanessa een gezin stichten, gebruikmakend van de ingevroren embryos waar Zoe en haar ex Max nog over beschikken.
Where to begin? This book is full of so much emotion that it was hard to not feel swayed one way or another. As someone that works for an Evangenical church, I found this book very hard to digest but not because of the 'anti-Christian' context, because of the 'Christian' context. I guess I am one that falls outside the box when it comes to religion. Believing that a person has a right to choose how they live their lives without it affecting my day-to-day life. Having also gone through minor infertility issues myself, I found Jodi Picoult's account of the feelings and emotions involved with each failed cycle to be bang on. Understanding the devastation that parents/partners go through is so hard to describe and she did it beautifully. While I will never be able to fully wrap myself around the 'same-sex' issues (because I haven't dealt with them first or really, second, hand), Sing You Home, has made me realize that there are people out there who struggle each and every day just to get by in a world that is unaccepting, a world that judges/hates/bullys, a world that is cruel. I hope that this book hits home in some of those 'unaccepting' people and makes them realize that it really isn't about them... it's about us. Overall, this book was wonderfully written and hit home on each and every basis of the story. Never going to far one way or the other and showing each side of the 'story' fairly and accurately (sadly). Another great book by a great author!! Picoult, who's created a cottage industry out of family melodrama and medical controversies, has crafted another winner in this story about music therapist Zoe Baxter and her decade-long struggle to become a mother....Picoult cleverly examines the modern world of reproductive science, how best to nurture a child and what, exactly, being a family means.
