Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult

Picoult always takes on difficult subjects, or ones that are going to push the comfort zones of people.  A happily married couple is trying to have a baby.  After many failed tries the husband, Max, is done and wants a divorce.  Zoe is crushed.  As she comes out of her depression she starts hanging with Vanessa.  They end up together and decide they want a baby.  There are still frozen eggs from Zoe's earlier attempts at IVF and she wants them, but has to go through Max.  He has gotten involved in a church that is very conservative and the church takes over this case and really lays it on thick.  Many subjects that people do not like to discuss, but Picoult puts it right out there and has the ability to make you feel for all of the characters.  The ending was kind of what I expected, but I was not really disappointed.  There was a music CD that went along with the book, but I did not listen to it.  I did not want it to influence me in any way with the book.
