ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult centers on the O'Keefe family and their daughter Willow, who suffers from a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta. Faced with mounting medical bills and the daily hardships of Willow's condition, her parents make a controversial decision: to sue their obstetrician for wrongful birth. They argue that the doctor's failure to diagnose Willow's condition during pregnancy denied them the choice to terminate. The narrative delves into the complexities of this lawsuit, exploring themes of parental love, the value of life, medical ethics, and the legal implications of choices made during pregnancy. The story examines the profound impact of their decision on their family and their relationships.
