![]() ![]() ![]() Twenty-five year old Sage Singer works at Our Daily Bread bakery in her small New Hampshire hometown. Both the confession and the request turn Sage's world upside down, but eventually give her new insights into herself, her family, and the nature and purpose of forgiveness. When she forms an unlikely friendship with 95-year-old Josef Weber, she expects that all she will learn is to play chess with him, so it is a shock when he reveals that he was a guard at a Nazi concentration camp, and later that he wants her to help him die. In Jodi Picoult's novel The Storyteller, baker Sage Singer works alone on the night shift at a small bakery and avoids people during the day, in both situations concealing from other people both a facial scar and the guilt she feels about the accident that caused it. ![]()
