Resumen del Editor

The acclaimed number-one New York Times best-selling author presents a spellbinding tale of a mother's tragic loss and one man's last chance at gaining salvation.

Can we save ourselves, or do we rely on others to do it? Is what we believe always the truth?

One moment June Nealon was happily looking forward to years full of laughter and adventure with her family, and the next she was staring into a future that was as empty as her heart. Now her life is a waiting game. Waiting for time to heal her wounds, waiting for justice. In short, waiting for a miracle to happen.

For Shay Bourne, life holds no more surprises. The world has given him nothing, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, something happens that changes everything for him. Now he has one last chance for salvation, and it lies with June's 11-year-old daughter, Claire. But between Shay and Claire stretches an ocean of bitter regrets, past crimes, and the rage of a mother who has lost her child.

Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish?

Once again, Jodi Picoult mesmerizes and enthralls listeners with this story of redemption, justice, and love.

A human heart

This story is hard to describe because it is so full... of life, of humanity, of ‘heart’. Life is beautiful and ugly and simple and complicated; perspective all depends on which details you have and which you choose to focus on. All of that is in this book.

I have always been amazed by the capacity of a human heart...and here, of Jodi Picoult’s capacity to write something like this. As a book, it’s a keeper, one that should be passed around until it falls to pieces. It broke me apart and put me back together again.

Many changes, many hearts. One great story

The interplay between characters is easy and rich. The story, at times a little incredulous, is well woven and complete, with a beautiful culmination that, like the title, caused a change of heart.

Great book

One of Hydes BEST work. Couldn't put down. Actually my fiancee was getting kinda miffed at her. I was holding the kindle more than him. Another winner!!!!

Captivating

Excellent story with multiple twists and turns. Performance was top notch with multiple character voices to keep a complex story understandable.

Makes you think…

This book makes you reconsider any preconceived notions you have about capital punishment. The performance of all narrators here were amazing!

Jodi always leave you with goosebumps and a jaw drop.

Amazing story, another win for Jodi Picoult

The use of multiple narrator voices in this audible story really helps to highlight the chapters and various perspectives as the author wrote them. Makes it amazingly easy to follow who is thinking/saying what.
For the story it’s self I highly enjoyed reading and discovering all the different ways A Change Of Heart occurred for the main characters and supporting characters. Each in their own but powerful way. Jodi Picoult is a storytelling master.

Very interesting plot

The book had me wanting to listen day and night. Very unusual plot and the characters were all great. Fun read with thought provoking circumstances. Would definitely recommend!!

Good book

This is a story about a huge dilemma faced by a mother. She was married and had a child, who were murdered - she was pregnant at the time. When her child is born, she has heart problems and eventually needs a heart transplant. The man convicted of killing her husband and child is coming up for execution and wants to donate his heart to her child. The mother does not want to lose her child, but she doesn't want the heart of a murder.
Great story with twists and turns and a great ending.

Such a heart warming novel

I loved it. Although i was so anxious to know what actually happened in the past i was hoping to know that a little earlier to validate my feelings for shay. It was such a great book. Im in love with magi character. It was a wonderfully written boom.

Breathtaking

Jodi is so good at weaving a story & emotionally tangling the reader's emotions with her characters. Disturbing, funny, enlightening, & breathtaking. Loved it!
