"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Book Description
An astonishing novel about redemption and forgiveness from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult.
Sage Singer becomes friends with an old man who’s particularly beloved in her community after they strike up a conversation at the bakery where she works. Josef Weber is everyone’s favorite retired teacher and Little League coach. One day he asks Sage for a favor: to kill him. Shocked, Sage refuses…but then he tells her he deserves to die.
Once he reveals his secret, Sage wonders if he’s right. What do you do when evil lives next door? Can someone who’s committed a truly heinous act ever redeem themselves with good behavior? Should you offer forgiveness to someone if you aren’t the party who was wronged? And most of all—if Sage even considers his request—is it murder, or justice?

Here's my WoW
I hear so many great things about Jodi Picoult's novels. Why haven't I read them yet? The Storyteller sounds like a great read...adding it to my reading list. :)
Jodi Picoult always leaves me with questions to ask myself. Her novels make great book club reads and she's not afraid to tackle difficult subjects.
