Sinopse

How far would you go to secure a child's future? When Willow is born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a serious condition that leaves her with extremely fragile bones, her parents, Charlotte and Sean, are devastated—the girl will suffer hundreds of fractures throughout her life and face a lifetime of pain. If she accidentally trips and falls, she could suffer a compound fracture and spend the next six months in a brace that wraps half her body, preventing her from walking. After years of constant care for Willow, her family is on the brink of bankruptcy. Until a pair of lawyers offers Charlotte a chance for salvation: sue her obstetrician for wrongful birth—that is, for not diagnosing Willow's condition early enough for her mother to have the option of an abortion. The compensation could secure Willow a peaceful future, but to get it, Charlotte must sue Dr. Piper Reece, her obstetrician and best friend—and tell the jury that she wishes her daughter had never been born... Deeply moving, The Glass Girl takes us into the heart of a family bound by tragedy, by the desperate will to keep their bonds from breaking, and, above all, by the immense capacity for love. With the grace and wisdom that made her famous, Jodi Picoult offers us an unforgettable story about the fragility of life and the lengths we are willing to go to protect it.
