Overview
This two-book paperback collection brings together Wish You Were Here and The Book of Two Ways, two emotionally rich standalone novels from bestselling author Jodi Picoult.

The Book of Two Ways centers on Dawn, a death doula and former Egyptologist, whose life splits between two futures after a near-fatal plane crash. Together, these novels showcase Picoult's gift for moral complexity, romance, and suspense, making this set a rewarding addition to any fiction library.
About the Books
Jodi Picoult has built a career on turning ripped-from-life dilemmas into deeply human fiction, and this two-book set highlights two of her most compelling standalone novels. Wish You Were Here opens with Diana O'Toole, a young art specialist whose long-planned solo trip to the Galapagos Islands takes a dramatic turn when a sudden crisis strands her far from home. Cut off from her mapped-out life, Diana slows down and discovers an unexpected sense of self. The novel meditates on love, loss, and the plans we make versus the lives we live. The Book of Two Ways follows Dawn Edelstein, a death doula who once studied Egyptology before fate redirected her path. A plane crash forces her to choose between her family or the archaeological career she abandoned, and the novel splits into two parallel timelines exploring both choices. Picoult weaves in Egyptian burial rituals and the science of dying well, creating a story that is equal parts romance, mystery, and philosophical inquiry, and shows why she remains one of fiction's most trusted storytellers.
