A SheReads Most Anticipated Novel of 2021
Jessica Strawser's A Million Reasons Why is "a fascinating foray into the questions we are most afraid to ask" (Jodi Picoult, number-one New York Times best-selling author) - the story of two women who discover a bond between them that will change both their lives forever.
When two strangers are linked by a mail-in DNA test, it’s an answered prayer - that is, for one half sister. For the other, it will dismantle everything she knows to be true.
But as they step into the unfamiliar realm of sisterhood, the roles will reverse in ways no one could have foreseen.
Caroline lives a full, happy life - thriving career, three feisty children, enviable marriage, and a close-knit extended family. She couldn’t have scripted it better. Except for one thing:
She’s about to discover her fundamental beliefs about them all are wrong.
Sela lives a life in shades of gray, suffering from irreversible kidney failure. Her marriage crumbled in the wake of her illness. Her beloved mother, always her closest friend, unexpectedly passed away. She refuses to be defined by her grief, but still, she worries what will happen to her two-year-old son if she doesn’t find a donor match in time.
She’s the only one who knows Caroline is her half sister and may also be her best hope for a future. But Sela’s world isn’t as clear-cut as it appears - and one misstep could destroy it all.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
"From the opening line to the heart-healing ending, A Million Reasons Why is an immersive and startling novel of great compassion with plot twists that will take your breath away.... Powerful, poignant and profound - don’t miss this compelling novel from a master storyteller." (New York Times best-selling author Patti Callahan Henry)

Historia
When a group of neighborhood women gathers, wine in hand, around a fire pit where their backyards meet one Saturday night, most of them are just ecstatic to have discovered that their baby monitors reach that far. It's a rare kid-free night, and they're giddy with it. They drink too much, and the conversation turns personal. By Monday morning, one of them is gone. Everyone knows something about everyone else in the quirky small Ohio town of Yellow Springs, but no one can make sense of the disappearance.

Historia
Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Alice has always wanted to be a writer. Her talent is innate, but her stories remain safe and detached, until a devastating event breaks her heart open, and she creates a stunning debut novel. Her words, in turn, find their way to readers, from a teenager hiding her homelessness, to a free diver pushing himself beyond endurance, an artist furious at the world around her, a bookseller in search of love, a widower rent by grief. Each one is drawn into Alice’s novel; each one discovers something different that alters their perspective, and presents new pathways forward for their lives.

I set about my skeptic’s notion that this was going to be a predictable book and I’m so glad. A lovely story woven in and out of anything predictable. I recommend this book.

Well written and realistic
I’m a dialysis nurse and have been for over twenty years. I’ve also worked with kidney transplant patients, pre and post. I love how realistic most of the healthcare references were. Sorry, can’t help but notice! The book spoke to many of our patients’ struggles but instead of this book being a clinical one meant to educate or “preach” to her readers, I loved how Jessica Strawser weaved in the family issues, love stories, and so much more. I loved, loved, loved, this book and binge listened to the entire book in less than three days. This was my first book by her, now I’m going to find another one...

Confusing
Wow. The writing at the beginning of this book was so convoluted that I didn’t think I could finish, but I was interested enough in the plot to continue. Then, suddenly, the writing became wonderful and clear, as if the author had slapped away the hand of a bad editor.
Sela’s character was lovely and felt realistic, but Caroline was a portrait of well-intentioned, plodding privilege. As a transplant recipient who has known several donors and other recipients, I found this book’s portrayal of the risks of donation way scarier and more negative than what I’ve observed in real life. Thank God for that. It was hard to read about someone wondering for months, hmmmm…should I save my sister’s life? It sounds nerve wracking, and my husband’s having a tantrum over the idea…so probably not. Yuck. But my irritation with Caroline and her smug family means, I guess, that the author did a great job of showing how a certain kind of odious people think. I’m glad I finished this book

Interesting Story on Ethics and Transplantation
As a Transplant physician I was attracted to the story highlighting the organ shortage and the desperation people go through to get a life saving transplant - using the current ethical issues surrounding the genetic tests like ancestry.com and 23 and me - the story is a nice mix of real life organ donation issues and intriguing family drama
Of course there are some shortfalls in the actual medical science presented but they are minor compared to the point of the story and a little literary license is always accepted for the sake of the story
I recommend this book as a book club choice because it will spark an interesting ethical and moral debate on the choices each character makes to protect themselves and their families -

A million answers that were left out.
I read a million reasons why and enjoyed the story but I found it frustrating that so much was left out of the story line. It just jumped ahead without going into any real information about the characters. I would have loved to hear some dialogue between the 2 sisters. Why did they never discuss their father, how did the father feel about all that was happening. why didn't she elaborate on the mother why she decided to be a donor and how did Caroline feel about this. So many questions and information left out.
