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 shameful 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.
