Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
I close my eyes, thinking that there is nothing like an embrace after an absence, nothing like fitting my face into the curve of his shoulder and filling my lungs with the scent of him.
Jodi Picoult
There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
When heaven breaks, who fixes it?
Jodi Picoult
History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.
Jodi Picoult
What if the one I choose to discount is one who has been truly hurt?
Jodi Picoult
What could it be like to find out, in a matter of minutes, that the person you believed the sun rose and set on was not the person you'd thought?
Jodi Picoult
