by Jodi Picoult
A collection of three short pieces by Jodi Picoult, two fictional and one a letter Picoult wrote to her own son as he was leaving for college. The pieces all fit together with the theme of leaving home.
The first story, "Weights and Measures", is a sad little piece about a couple coping with the loss of their daughter. The second is the letter to her son. The third piece, "Ritz", is a story of a mother who takes a vacation.
Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite writers and if you haven't read anything by her yet, you need to remedy that post haste. Her stories are always relate-able and honest and her characters are real people you can understand. These three short pieces are a nice dose of Picoult if you, like me, have read everything else she's written and are just waiting for her newest book to be released ("Sing You Home" on March 1).
Amazon has started this "Kindle Singles" series, a variety of short pieces all priced under $3. Check them all out.
