Her Newest Book-Change of Heart:
Story: Shay Bourne - New Hampshire’s first death row prisoner in 69 years – has only one last request: to donate his heart post-execution to the sister of his victim, who is looking for a transplant. Bourne says it’s the only way he can redeem himself…but with lethal injection as his form of execution, this is medically impossible. Enter Father Michael Wright, a young local priest. Called in as Shay’s spiritual advisor, he knows redemption has nothing to do with organ donation – and plans to convince Bourne. But then Bourne begins to perform miracles at the prison that are witnessed by officers, fellow inmates, and even Father Michael – and the media begins to call him a messiah. Could an unkempt, bipolar, convicted murderer be a savior? It seems highly unlikely, to the priest. Until he realizes that the things Shay says may not come from the Bible…but are, verbatim, from a gospel that the early Christian church rejected two thousand years ago…and that is still considered heresy.

The Tenth Circle is being made into a movie! So is Sister's Keeper. Click here for pics of her on set with the actors in Feb 2008 and for pics of her family and pets: www.jodipicoult.com/Film news: The Fanning sisters have dropped out of My Sister’s Keeper, because Dakota Fanning, who was cast as Kate, did not want to shave her head. Now playing Anna: Abigail Breslin of LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and DEFINITELY, MAYBE (playing now in theaters). Kate will be played by Sofia Vassilieva, who plays the oldest daughter on the NBC television show “Medium.” News that’s not so great: as it stands right now, the director plans to change the ending of the film so that it’s different from the book. More on that later – I’m fighting valiantly to keep that from happening. The Lifetime TV movie of The Tenth Circle will air on June 21.
