Yeah, something like that.
Webster's defines "child" as a young person especially between infancy and youth. That really clarifies things. Doesn't it?
And an "Infant" is a child in the first period of life. It doesn't say exactly how long that first period is, though. Six months? Two years? Twenty years?

If you like magic mixed in with serial killing, (and who doesn't?), you might want to check out Jeffery Deaver's "The Vanished Man"....Godd stuff.
Last night I started "Legacies" by F.Paul Wilson. It's the 2nd in the Repairman Jack series. Your basic gun for hire with a bit of monster bad guys thrown in the mix. Pretty deep huh?

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
I am about halfway thru this thought provoking book. It goes into the ethics of having a child to save a child's life. A little girl was born to be the genetic match for her sister who has leakemia. When she turns 13, she brings suit against her parents to be medically emancipated so she can make her own decisions about what she willl and will not do medically for her sister. It is a very deep story. Even tho I have not finished it yet, I would highly recommend it.

Ooh. That sounds interesting. I've always been sickened to hear about parents having children so they can harvest bits of them to save their existing child. It would really screw up your child's life when they found out.SenoraG said:I am about halfway thru this thought provoking book. It goes into the ethics of having a child to save a child's life.

Been thinking about picking this one up. Very interesting concept.

Anyway, I have nothing to worry about as it's a good book
Well, on the strength of me quite enjoying Chocolat so far... I also bought House of the Spirits. Looks like you're safe for the time being - but watch out if this book takes a sudden turn for the worse!
