paperback version of Vanishing Acts

"the only person i can honestly say i'd give my own life to save is you, simply because in the accounting scheme of my heart, your life means more than mine"- the character of Elise Vasqueze in the novel Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult.

i love Elise's narration in the book because that is when she tells her side of the events. and one would think that she would try to justify her actions but surprisingly enough, she does just the opposite and confesses her undying love for her daughter.
