Feature/Interview
Jodi Picoult
By Debbi Honorof
In an article about her favorite books in O Magazine, bestselling author Jodi Picoult writes "The purpose of a story is to be a crowbar that slides under your skin and, with luck, cracks your mind wide open." That is exactly what Ms. Picoult does with each of her blockbuster books. Hitting the bookstores at a rate of roughly one per year, Jodi Picoult's novels have captured the imagination of millions of readers throughout the world, and started conversations about highly-charged topics and ethical dilemmas. Her books have been translated into thirty four languages, three—The Pact, Plain Truth, and The Tenth Circle—have been made into television movies, and in 2009, the feature film version of My Sister's Keeper became a box-office hit..

Tale of a Long Island Bag Lady
News 12’s Carol Silva monthly column.
My father came home from his military base during his 20 years as a Naval Corpsman. As always, he came bearing gifts. A toy wagon and stuffed animal for my brothers and a white handbag for me. Really a tiny purse – probably 4 by 5 inches. Suddenly like my grandmother - I couldn't go anywhere without it.
