Summary
In The Deep End of the Ocean, Jacquelyn Mitchard weaves a gripping and emotional story about a family's deepest fear—the abduction of a child. When Beth Cappadora loses her son Ben in a crowded hotel lobby, her world shatters. Years later, a boy knocks on her door, igniting a complex journey of healing, love, and the challenging nuances of family dynamics. Mitchard masterfully explores themes of loss, identity, and forgiveness in this heart-wrenching narrative, showing how a family's bond can bend but never fully break. This powerful novel was the inaugural selection for Oprah's Book Club and continues to resonate with readers for its raw emotional depth and realistic portrayal of a family's recovery from trauma.
