Few first novels receive the kind of attention and acclaim
showered on this powerful story--a nationwide bestseller, a
critical success, and the first title chosen for Oprah's
Book Club. Both highly suspenseful and deeply moving, The
Deep End of the Ocean imagines every mother's worst
nightmare--the disappearance of a child--as it explores a
family's struggle to endure, even against extraordinary
odds. Filled with compassion, humor, and brilliant
observations about the texture of real life, here is a
story of rare power, one that will touch readers' hearts
and make them celebrate the emotions that make us all one.
