Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult (Paperback)

Each person’s life has a unique soundtrack; all you need to do is pay attention.

Music has been the backdrop to Zoe Baxter’s life, shaping her experiences in various ways. The tune evokes memories of the summer she spent sunbathing with baby oil, striving for the perfect tan. The rhythmic beat transports her to when she used a fake ID to sneak into nightclubs. And the mournful melody that accompanied her years of struggling to conceive.

For better or worse, music serves as the language of memory, but it’s also the language of love.

In the wake of a series of personal tragedies, Zoe immerses herself in her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship gradually transforms into love, she envisions a fresh start. However, to her astonishment and inevitable frustration, some people—perhaps even those she holds closest and trusts the most—oppose her path to happiness.

“Sing You Home” delves into identity, love, marriage, and parenthood themes. It explores the complexities of individuals striving to do what’s right for the greater good while pursuing their desires and dreams. Ultimately, it delves into the profound impact of external forces when they challenge the essence of our hearts: our concept of family.
