![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Raymond wakes on the bus to what he takes for another angel: Melody, a camp counselor and lifeguard. The elaborate ice sculptures on display thrilled them, especially an angel with outstretched wings that glowed ghostly in the night. On the bus there, he dreams of the best night of his life, when he and Monroe slipped away from home and jumped the turnstiles to ride the subway to downtown Boston on New Year¿s Eve. This summer, his mother has decided to send him to Bible camp for inner-city kids. All Raymond wants to do is hang out with his best friend, Monroe, but life has other plans. In her new Byliner Original, "The Color War," she showcases her versatility and storytelling gifts once again with a moving and revealing portrait of a boy coming of age in an America where the lines between black and white, rich and poor, and insider and outsider too often divide minds and hearts and separate a child from his own sense of promise. Her many novels, consistently topping both national and international bestseller lists ("Sing You Home," "My Sister¿s Keeper," "Nineteen Minutes"), are celebrated for addressing controversial issues with courage, grace, and empathy. Jodi Picoult is one of the most beloved authors of our time. ![]()
