“Keeping Faith” by Jodi Picoult

They say that there are moments that open up your life like a walnut cracked, that change your point of view so that you never look at things the same way again.

—Jodi Picoult in Keeping Faith

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 in Keeping Faith
