The Storyteller
By: Jodi Picoult

Sage Singer is a quiet baker, content to keep her head down and her heart guarded—until a chance friendship with a kind, 95-year-old man named Josef changes everything. Grieving her mother and grappling with isolation, Sage finds comfort in their unexpected bond.

But when Josef reveals a haunting secret from his past, he asks Sage to do the unthinkable. Suddenly, she’s thrust into an agonizing moral crossroads—torn between justice and compassion, truth and loyalty. As she digs into her family’s history and confronts Josef’s dark confession, Sage must decide what she believes in—and what she’s willing to risk.

A powerful tale of forgiveness, identity, and the choices that define us, The Storyteller is a heart-wrenching page-turner from one of today’s most beloved authors.

On this day in 1986, the first-ever Environmental Protection Day was celebrated in honor of raising awareness for global environmental issues. This day encouraged citizens to take action to protect the planet by making sustainable choices, such as reducing waste, conserving water, and protecting natural habitats.

📾 Digital Photography: Making the Most of Your Camera đŸŒŸ

No matter your age, it’s never too late to dive into the world of digital photography! Your camera (or smartphone) is a wonderful tool to capture the beauty around you, whether it’s family gatherings, nature walks, or everyday moments.

Start simple: use your camera’s automatic settings and experiment with framing your shots. Try taking pictures outside in natural light—it makes a huge difference! You can also zoom in on the little details, like flowers, pets, or even a favorite mug.

Don’t worry about being perfect; the joy of photography is in the experience itself. If you’re feeling adventurous, try learning a few manual settings to get more creative control over your photos. Most cameras allow you to adjust the brightness, focus, and more, so you can make each picture your own!

And, if you ever need help, there are tons of online tutorials to guide you. Whether you want to capture memories, explore your creativity, or simply enjoy the process, digital photography is a fun and rewarding hobby. Grab your camera and start snapping—you’ll be amazed at what you can create!
