... is one.
Picoult is one of my favorite authors. MSK is one of my favorites. Two other favorites are 19 minutes and Plain Truth. I am currently reading her newest book, Change of Heart combining organ donation and the death penalty as issues. Again, a compelling read! I just finished Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult and bought Salem Falls. I am hooked on her books after reading The Tenth Circle. I saw a preview for the Lifetime movie for The Tenth Circle it looked good so I read the book (the movie was bad by the way). ... following closely by Nineteen Minutes. I have read almost all of her books. I think the only ones I haven't read are plain truth, salem falls and songs of the humpback whale.

I'm reading Jane Austen in Scarsdale and I just finished Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. If you try her, start with My Sister's Keeper( if you haven't read it already). 2. Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult I have read all of the books that are out in the UK.

Working on Jodi Picoult's Plain Truth for book club and eagerly awaiting my Early Reviewers copy of Identical Strangers: A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited. My Sister's Keeper is my favourite, but I loved Nineteen Minutes too.
So far I've also read Keeping Faith, Plain Truth, and Salem Falls ... I didn't think they were all that great though, so they don't make my "Favourites" list.

Mockingbird by Charles Shields
Over the weekend I bought Nineteen Minutes and Plain Truth both by Jodi Picoult and Mockingbird a biography of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields. My Sister's Keeper was my first, which led me to pick up her others. So far I think The Pact has been my favourite. Plain Truth is definitely a good one too.
Although I do still read her, I'm getting frustrated with the formula now, and I feel like the quiality of the story is being ... I am currently reading Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult.

I agree with you. The first Picoult book I read was Plain Truth, and then My Sister's Keeper (touchstone not loading). I enjoyed both for the strengths you described.
