Leaving Home: Short Pieces Jodi Picoult Unabridged edition

Leaving Home brings together three previously published short pieces, each dealing with a variation on the theme of leaving home. The first, ?Weights and Measures,? deals with the tragic loss of a child; the second is a non-fiction letter Picoult wrote to her eldest son as he left for college; and ?Ritz? tells the story of a mother who takes the vacation all mothers need sometime. ?It is impossible not to be held spellbound by the way she forces us to think, hard, about right and wrong.? - The Washington Post
