Vanessa, the high school guidance counselor, provides friendship and consolation, and the two women enter into a sexual relationship, to Zoe's dismay.

Max turns to liquor and to his brother and sister-in-law and their conservative church. He can't face the thought of additional in vitro treatments leading to more disappointing miscarriages. When Zoe Baxter loses her baby at 28 weeks after years of trying to become a mother, her husband, Max, leaves her. And she treats them with competence and compassion. Jodi Picoult takes on complex and controversial issues in “Sing You Home” (Astria Books, $28 hardcover, $16 paperback).
