Oprah's Book Club
The first book ever chosen by Oprah's Book Club
Few first novels receive the kind of attention and acclaim showered on this powerful story--a nationwide bestseller, a critical success, and the first title chosen for Oprah's Book Club. Both highly suspenseful and deeply moving, The Deep End of the Ocean imagines every mother's worst nightmare--the disappearance of a child--as it explores a family's struggle to endure, even against extraordinary odds. Filled with compassion, humor, and brilliant observations about the texture of real life, here is a story of rare power, one that will touch readers' hearts and make them celebrate the emotions that make us all one.

In title purgatory for my new novel. It previously was called 'Saltwater,' because the protagonist is an underwater photographer, but found a rather good recent novel of that name. Now it's called 'Meh" or "The Deep End of the Ocean Diet.#amwriting
