In the book "Change of Heart," by Jodi Picoult, June can't admit to herself that her daughter, Claire, needs a heart donor no matter who it is. June is left to decide if she should grant her family's killer's dying wish, if it means saving her daughter's life.
When Shay Bourne murdered both June's husband and her daughter, Elizabeth, and then went to jail and received the death sentence, June obviously hated him more than she had ever hated anyone. But, when June's daughter, Claire needs a heart donor and Shay wants to donate his heart to her, June is strongly against it. She doesn't want the heart of her husband and daughter's killer inside her other daughter. But, there are no other possible donors for Claire. This leaves June to have to choose between possibly saving her daughters life, but only at the cost of granting her enemies dying wish. I think June is being extremely selfish. She has the opportunity to save her only surviving daughter, and she might throw away that chance just so Shay doesn't get his dying wish. Even if it makes Shay happy to donate his heart, and June doesn't want him to ever be happy, it should be more important to June to save her daughter's life.
In the book "Change of Heart," by Jodi Picoult, June is very selfish. She doesn't want to grant Shay his dying wish, even though it means letting her daughter die.

In the book "Vanishing Acts," by Jodi Picoult, there are a lot of things that are unfair. Andrew is unfair to Delia and her mom, Delia is unfair to Fitz and Eric, and Delia's mom is unfair to Delia and Andrew.
Andrew was unfair to his daughter Delia and to her mother. By taking Delia with him and basically kidnapping her for 28 years without telling anyone, he was only thinking about himself. He wasn't realizing how this would affect Delia or her mother, or that there would be consequences. This was very unfair to both Delia and her mother.
Delia was unfair to her best friend, Fitz, and her fiancé, Eric. Growing up, she never realized that Fitz liked her, and she only really paid attention to Eric. This was unfair to Fitz. Now she is engaged to Eric, but then she cheated on Eric with Fitz, and Eric found out. This was unfair to Eric, because they were already engaged, and she cheated on him with his best friend. Delia was very unfair to both Fitz and Eric.
Delia's mother was unfair to Delia and Andrew. She knew that she had never been a good mother to Delia, and that Andrew would have always been a better parent, and even that Andrew was right to take Delia, but she still testifies against him in court. This almost causes Andrew to go to jail for even longer, which would have been awful for both Andrew and Delia. Delia's mother was very unfair to both Delia and Andrew.
In the book "Vanishing Acts," by Jodi Picoult, the main characters are all very unfair to each other.

In the book Vanishing Acts, by Jodi Picoult, Delia has very different relationships with everyone. When she is with Eric, she usually seems tired, annoyed, or uneasy. When she is with Fitz, she usually seems to be longing for more than what she already has. When she is with Andrew, she is easily upset.
When Delia is with her husband, Eric, she often acts tired, annoyed, or uneasy. Eric used to be an alcoholic, and this caused Delia to be stressed out all the time, and constantly worried or angry. Even though he doesn't drink anymore, she still acts uneasy around him. I think this is because she is so used to him being a disappointment as both a husband and a father, making her unsure about whether she should trust him to make the right decisions.
When Delia is with her best friend, Fitz, she often seems to want more than what she already has. She always tells him how she wishes her life were different in one way or another, and he always seems to understand. When he kisses her, and Delia's daughter, Sophie, sees them, Delia seems like the only part she regretted was Sophie catching them. I think Delia would rather be with Fitz than Eric, but is scared to admit it to anyone, including herself.
When Delia is with her dad, Andrew, she becomes upset easily. Since he's been arrested, she either gets angry or cries anytime she visits him. They used to be so close, and they could talk to each other about everything, but now Delia can hardly look at him without becoming even more upset. I don't think their relationship will ever be the same again, now that she knows what he did. Even if it becomes easier for Delia to talk to her dad, it wont be the same as it used to be.
