Where There is Smoke - Jodi Picoult
Even as a child, Serenity Jones knew she possessed unusual psychic gifts. Now, decades later, she's an acclaimed medium and host of her own widely viewed TV show, where she delivers messages to the living from loved ones who have passed. Lately, though, her efforts to boost ratings and garner fame have compromised her clairvoyant instincts. When Serenity books a young war widow to appear as a guest, the episode quickly unravels, stirring a troubling controversy. And as she tries to undo the damage-to both her reputation and her show-Serenity finds that pride comes at a high price.
3/5 stars (liked it)
It is a short story that is introducing the character of Serenity. I liked her from the beginning when we see her as a child, but felt she needed to be taught a lesson. She is using her psychic gifts, not to help other people but to help herself. She has spirit guides who have told her as much and in the end she gets taught a very important lesson. I feel that I learned some much of the character in a such a short book.
