Jodi Picoult

Frankly, I wonder who Frank was, and why he has an adverb all to himself.
Jodi Picoult
But this is inaccurate. A runaway train is an accident. Me, I'll jump in front of the tracks. I'll even tie myself down in front of the speeding engine. There's some illogical part of me hat still believes if you want Superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving.
Jodi Picoult
remember that every fire will burn itself out, even without your help.
Jodi Picoult
I have always written about subjects that engage me - questions I can't answer myself. They apparently tend to be big moral and ethical issues!
Jodi Picoult
