Change of Heart

I'm currently reading this really awesome book by Jodi Picoult titled "Change of Heart". I came across it when I left my backpack at home and therefore had nothing to do at school yesterday. It's a novel about a woman who lost her first husband in a car accident, remarried, lost her second husband (a police officer who was at the scene of her first husband's accident) and her daughter in a homicide. The murderer was a carpenter who showed up at her door seeking work; She and her husband hired him to finish their addition. The woman was pregnant at the time that her daughter and husband were killed and soon thereafter had the baby. The girl, eleven years later, is in need of a heart transplant and her husband/daughter's killer is on death row wishing to be the donor of this heart. I won't give away anymore but the book deals with some really interesting issues concerning death penalty, differences between Judaism and Christianity, the coming of the Messiah and the legal system as a whole. If you're looking for a good read, I reccomend it. I also reccomend Matt W's latest post!

College Update: It's been about a month and a half since I've recieved an acceptance (or rejection) letter from any colleges... I'm probably going to look into that soon. More on that later.
