The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult (Contains Affiliate Link)
Some stories live forever . . .
Sage Singer is a
baker. She works through the night, preparing the day’s breads and
pastries, trying to escape a reality of loneliness, bad memories, and
the shadow of her mother’s death. When Josef Weber, an elderly man in
Sage’s grief support group, begins stopping by the bakery, they strike
up an unlikely friendship. Despite their differences, they see in each
other the hidden scars that others can’t, and they become companions.
Everything
changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and shameful
secret—one that nobody else in town would ever suspect—and asks Sage for
an extraordinary favor. If she says yes, she faces not only moral
repercussions, but potentially legal ones as well. With her own identity
suddenly challenged, and the integrity of the closest friend she’s ever
had clouded, Sage begins to question the assumptions and expectations
she’s made about her life and her family. When does a moral choice
become a moral imperative? And where does one draw the line between
punishment and justice, forgiveness and mercy?
In this searingly
honest novel, Jodi Picoult gracefully explores the lengths we will go
in order to protect our families and to keep the past from dictating the
future. (From Amazon.com product listing)
