By Jodi Picoult
Sage Singer is a baker by trade. She spends her nights baking at a local café in a quaint New England town and hiding from the loneliness and pain of losing both of her parents. She attends a weekly grief counseling group where she strikes up an unlikely friendship with an aging widower, Josef Weber, a former high-school German teacher and pillar of their community.
As Sage and Josef's friendship develops, Josef requests a favor from Sage that changes her life. The request has her delving into her grandmother's past and stirring up memories. Her grandmother, Minka, is a polish immigrant and holocaust survivor that would prefer to leave her past behind her.
This book is a reminder of the atrocities that are perpetrated in war and how those who are left behind have emotional scars that may fade but never completely go away.
