Sing You Home

Here is the synopsis of Jodi Picoult's latest book, Sing You Home, from Barnes and Noble:

Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter’s life. There’s the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant.
For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love.
In the aftermath of a series of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people—even those she loves and trusts most—don’t want that to happen.

Sing You Home is about identity, love, marriage, and parenthood. It’s about people wanting to do the right thing for the greater good, even as they work to fulfill their own personal desires and dreams. And it’s about what happens when the outside world brutally calls into question the very thing closest to our hearts: family.


I am always a fan of JP and must buy her new books they day they are released. I enjoyed Sing You Home but was a bit disappointed about the end. Without spoiling anything, I wanted to know more about certain characters and turns of events toward the end of the story. I felt it ended rather abruptly. I give Sing You Home 4 of 5 stars.
