I'm having a hard time finding Nobody's Child and H2O in libraries in my area! I've been dying to read them both for quite some time!

Bianca... the novel "Nobody's Child" is the first of a series entitled The Pandora Files, each one wrapped around the theme of a specific thorny dilemma in bioethics. The next novel deals with a story about black market organ harvests, and another novel covers what some call "health care rationing." The stories stand on their own... they are not "issue books"... but at the end you're left with the realization that you have some thinking to do about these tough issues. Sort of like Jodi Picoult left us pondering the issue of organ transplants with "My Sister's Keeper."
