Sage was raised by Jewish parents but has abandoned religion in the wake of her accident. Sage is plagued by guilt over the car accident and an affair she is conducting with Adam, a married funeral home director.


She lives in the small town of Westerbrook and works at a bakery attached to a religious shrine, where her late hours allow her to remain socially isolated. Sage Singer is a reclusive woman with a large scar on her face, a relic from the car accident that killed her mother and left her orphaned. As she uncovers the truth from the darkest horrors of war, she must follow a twisting trail between betrayal and forgiveness, love and revenge.Please be advised that The Storyteller includes depictions of assisted death by suicide and features discussion of self-harm and disturbing violence related to the Holocaust. Caught between Josef's search for redemption and her shattered illusions, Sage turns to her family history and her own life for answers. Until Josef tells her the evil secret he's kept for sixty years. But when she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Josef Weber, a quiet man old enough to be her grandfather, and respected pillar of the community, she feels that finally, she may have found someone she can open up to. Sleeping by day and working in a bakery by night, she kneads her emotion into the beautiful bread she bakes. Sage Singer has a past that makes her want to hide from the world.
