内容简介 Book Description
In Vanishing Acts, bestselling author Jodi Picoult follows a young woman who seems to have it all - until a long-repressed memory suddenly returns as a threat.

Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her beloved, widowed father, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiancé, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall...until a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret about herself that changes the world as she knows it - and threatens to jeopardize her future.

With understanding, insight, and compassion, in Vanishing Acts, Jodi Picoult explores how life - as we know it - can change before our very eyes.

"Picoult is a solid, lively storyteller."
                                  ------The New York Times

"What is it about a Jodi Picoult novel that wraps the reader tighter than a spider's silk in the ...intricacies of story? Never more gripping is the master plotter than in this, the story of Delia Hopkins."
                                  -------Jacquelyn Mitchard

"The worlds Picoult creates for her characters resonate with authenticity, and the people who inhabit them are so engaging."
