Innocent
A poignant and unforgettable novel from Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of the monumental

and
The Most Wanted
,
A Theory of Relativity
is a powerful tale that explores the emotional dynamics and dramas of two families fighting for custody of a young child. The very first author selected by the Oprah Book Club, Mitchard is a matchless, wise, and warm chronicler of families and their human foibles—and
is contemporary women’s fiction at its best, a must-read for fans of Sue Miller, Jane Hamilton, and Elizabeth Berg.
