Luke Warren lived in the wild for two years, studying wolves; the experience changed him, and that ultimately tore the Warrens apart. Now, a car accident leaves him dependent on life support. Should his family pull the plug? The question pits Luke&#8217;s teenage daughter, Cara, who feels she knows Luke&#8217;s wishes, against her older brother, Edward, who has been estranged from the family for six years. Always expect the unexpected with Picoult, who\u2014in her trademark style of giving voice to all who are involved and showing every side of an issue\u2014challenges us to think about end-of-life decisions and to consider who will speak for us when our time comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luke Warren lived in the wild for two years, studying wolves; the experience changed him, and that ultimately tore the Warrens apart.
