I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.  But I was wondering if anybody knew of authors like Jodi Picoult, or books that are like hers?  She is probably my favorite author but I would like to check out other ones.  Thanks!

I really like Diane Chamberlain, Amy Hatvany, Heather Gudenkauf, Kristin Hannah, Juliette Fay, and Lisa Scottoline's women's fiction

Thanks for the suggestions!  I'll check them out.

Have you read much by Barbara Kingsolver?   I think they are equally great contemporary authors.   

I loved Picoult's House Rules and Mercy.  My two favs.  

Nope I haven't read any by her Pamela.  I'll check her out.  Thanks!
