description: Following the phenomenal success of My Sister's Keeper and Second Glance, beloved best-selling author Jodi Picoult is back with another page-turning novel about the power of memories--and the sharing of their secrets. Vanishing Acts introduces readers to Delia Hopkins, a young woman who seems indeed to have led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her windowed father Andrew, she finds fulfillment in her work, in which she uses Search and Rescue blood-hounds to find missing persons. In addition, she now has a small daughter and is on the threshold of marrying her handsome fiance. However, as Delia starts to plan her wedding, she finds that she is plagued by flashbacks to a time that she can't recall. What are these flashbacks, and what do they mean? In shock and confused, Delia must search out the truth among these newly discovered memories--even when they threaten to devastate her life, and the lives of those she loves most. Gripping and absorbing in every way, Vanishing Acts is a story that explores what happens when a past we have been running from catches up with us--and what happens when the memory we thought had vanished returns as a threat.
