I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years – particularly My Sisters Keeper. It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that, as a novelist, you have a platform and the ability to change peoples minds. – Jodi Picoult
Theres that unwritten schism that literary writers get all the awards and commericals writers get all the success. – Jodi Picoult
Many of my books come from what if questions that I cant answer, things that Im worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American. – Jodi Picoult
As an American I wanted to explore… why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment? Is it because were too afraid to really examine the system, or is it because we really truly believe that this is the best way to deter future crime? – Jodi Picoult
