Mercy

Another great book by Jodi Picoult. It involves 2 pairs Allie and Cam who are happily married for 5 years. Cam is the Chief of Police in the county and Allie owns a floweshop right opposite the police station. Allie worships her husband and Cam is in love with the familiarity of Allie. Into this scene enters Jamie and Maggie. Maggie was suffering from terminal cancer and Jamie confesses to Cam in front of the entire village that he killed his wife because she wanted him to end her misery. Allie is moved by the deep love that Jamie had for his wife. Mia Townsend walks into Allie's shop one day and Allie hires Mia to be her assistant. Cam and Mia fall in love and have a relationship behind Allie's back. The rest of the story is the entwining of these heavy duty feelings and wether Jamie is right or wrong in killing his wife. The courtroom drama is as central to this book as the feelings between Cam,Allie,Mia and Jamie. Incredible read.
