An astonishing novel about redemption and forgiveness from the "amazingly talented writer" (HuffPost) and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult. 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. Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and shame-ful secret and asks Sage for an extraordinary favor. If she says yes, she faces not only moral repercussions, but potentially legal ones as well. With 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. In this searingly honest novel, Jodi Picoult gracefully explores the lengths to which we will go in order to keep the past from dictating the future.

Again, PLEASE don't judge me on dates. It would take a lot to go back and figure out when exactly I read any books. But that's beside the point, right? I found this novel absolutely intriguing. To see both sides of WW II. And to be told from the perspective of someone who was a prisoner? And also, the jailer. Then to bring in a modernv gay aspect to it was such a nice touch for our modern world. Absolutely engaging. And very very informative. It might make you think on either side. Which is one of Jodi's classic news as an author she shows you all sides of the story. I love her!

I haven’t read one of her books in years. She still doesn’t disappoint. I enjoyed how it all intertwined at the end.
