Sage Singer is a baker. She works through the night, preparing the dayβs breads and pastries, trying to escape a reality of loneliness, bad memories, and the shadow of her motherβs death. When Josef Weber, an elderly man in Sageβs 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 canβt.
Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried and shameΒful 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 sheβs ever had clouded, Sage begins to question the assumptions and expectations sheβs 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.
