\nBook description:
\nS ome stories live forever . . .
\nSage Singer is a baker. She works t hrough the night\, preparing the day&rsquo\;s breads and pastries\, trying to escape a reality of loneliness\, bad memories\, and the shadow of her mother&rsquo\;s death. When Josef Weber\, an elderly man in Sage&rsquo\;s grief support group\, begins stopping by the bakery\, they strike up an un likely friendship. Despite their differences\, they see in each other the hidden scars that others can&rsquo\;t\, and they become companions.
\n< p>Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and sha meful secret&mdash\;one that nobody else in town would ever suspect&mdash\ ;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 o wn identity suddenly challenged\, and the integrity of the closest friend she&rsquo\;s ever had clouded\, Sage begins to question the assumptions an d expectations she&rsquo\;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?\nIn this s earingly honest novel\, Jodi Picoult gracefully explores the lengths we wi ll go in order to protect our families and to keep the past from dictating the future (goodreads).
