The Storyteller by Jodi Piccoult
Sage Singer, in baking each day’s bread and pastries, tries to escape the 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. They see in each other the hidden scars that others can’t and they become companions.
One day Josef confesses a long-buried and shameful secret that nobody 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. Where does one draw the line between punishment and justice, forgiveness and mercy?
Jodi Piccoult gracefully explores the lengths we will go in order to protect our families and to keep the past from dictating the future.
