Newly Notable -- The Next Jodi Picoult!

So...you've been waiting, too, eh?
There are those of who are die hard fans, and then the moderate fans. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't fall in to one of those categories where Jodi Picoult is concerned.
Enough philosophy! The point of my existential rant is that is that the new Jodi Picoult, Lone Wolf, gets unleashed on the world this week Tuesday.
While the overall reviews are mixed, one thing has turned up over and over again: Picoult does an amazing job of researching and relaying wolf-lore (of the non-paranormal kind--there's a character that's a wolf expert).

Newly Notable -- Jodi Picoult's Next Release!

It's coming, it's coming! The new Jodi Picoult! Lone Wolf will be released on February 28, 2012!

From the publisher:
A life hanging in the balance…a family torn apart. The #1 internationally bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells an unforgettable story about family, love, and letting go.Edward Warren, twenty-four, has been living in Thailand for five years, a prodigal son who left his family after an irreparable fight with his father, Luke. But he gets a frantic phone call: His dad lies comatose, gravely injured in the same accident that has also injured his younger sister Cara.
With her father’s chances for recovery dwindling, Cara wants to wait for a miracle. But Edward wants to terminate life support and donate his father’s organs. Is he motivated by altruism, or revenge? And to what lengths will his sister go to stop him from making an irrevocable decision?
Lone Wolf explores the notion of family, and the love, protection and strength it’s meant to offer. But what if the hope that should sustain it, is the very thing that pulls it apart? Another tour de force from Jodi Picoult, Lone Wolf examines the wild and lonely terrain upon which love battles reason.
