About this title
"In Daughter's Keeper, Ayelet Waldman shows that the power of love, even when prickling with thorns, can ultimately provide what the criminal system cannot: a hard-fought, hard-won second chance." —Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil
"Ayelet Waldman has brought the war on drugs home, and has shown us just how close to home it can come. Her mother and daughter reminded me of the women I most love and for whom I hold the greatest fear, those women and girls who fight tooth and nail, when their best hope lies in supporting each other. She looks past headlines and into the heart. What she finds there is hope for us all." —Dorothy Allison
"Waldman shapes outrage into a story that's always compelling, always compassionate -- always so close to real that it feels like nonfiction." —Dave Eggers, author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and You Shall Know Our Velocity!
"Be prepared to stay up all night—Waldman combines sophisticated psychology with savvy courtroom drama to create a turbulent and mesmerizing mother-daughter tale. Daughter's Keeper is a zippily intelligent and emotionally charged peephole into the peculiar politics that govern motherhood and the American legal system." —Heidi Julavitz, author of The Mineral Palace
"Ayelet Waldman masterfully explores the intricacies and complications of love between a mother and daughter. Set against the tension and complexities of the judicial system, Waldman skillfully balances each world with heartrending, searing truths. Smart and involving, it is a story of second chances, of reclaiming what has been lost, and of finding your way through the darkness and into the light." —Gail Tsukiyama, author of The Samurai's Garden
"A rivetting story, as generous as it is large; Waldman presents a tale that unfolds layer by layer, revealing the complexities of sacrifice and regret, along side that ultimate desire to DO RIGHT, in this triumph of mother-daughter love." —Elizabeth Strout, author of Amy and Isabelle
"I LOVE this book. I'm having a hard time concentrating on work today because I'm worried about Olivia and Elaine....It grabs you right in the gut and doesn't let go. The characters are so believable that I doubt they will ever leave me. I can see, taste and feel everything they are going through. The legal stuff is terrific too." —Elaine Petrocelli, owner of Book Passage
