“ Inside each of us is a monster; inside each of us is a saint. The real question is which one we nurture the most, which one will smite the other.”
Sage Singer is a baker. She works through the night, preparing the day’s breads and pastries, trying to escape a reality of lonliness, 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, and they become companions.
Everything changes on the day that Josef confesses a long-buried secret—one that nobody else in town would ever suspect—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 own identity suddenly challenged, and 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. When does a moral choice become a moral imperative? And where does one draw the line between punishment and justice, forgiveness and mercy?
Read Alikes for The Storyteller: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah; The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel; Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan; The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman
