Handle With Care - Jodi Picoult

Charlotte O'Keefe's much-longed-for, adored daughter Willow is born with ostreogenesis imperfecta - a very severe form of brittle bone disease. One stumble could force her to spend months in a body cast.
.
Willow's condition is an expensive one, and her family faces financial ruin. Then Charlotte is offered a lifeline. She could file a 'wrongful birth' suit aginst her obstetrician, in the hope of receiving monetary payout which would secure Willow's future.
.
But the doctor she would be suing is Charlotte' best friend. And it also means saying that if she had known in advance about the disability, Charlotte would have terminated the pregnancy - standing up in court to declare she would rather her daughter had never been born......

As I mentioned earlier the writer is so smart to create family conflict and end up the battle in court. The plot, planned and arranged almost similar to My Sister's Keeper. Anyway I like the style she outlined, instead of having chapter by chapter, the writer would prefer to provide the event of every individual narrating the incident, tragedy and feeling. But The way she finishes the entire satire is like so ad hoc. The way Willow experiencing her death was not that very interesting and good ending. For me it would be better if Willow suffer the death during her final breaks in the hospital during the court battle. Anyway I still enjoy the way Jodi wrote her story.
