Picoult was born and raised in
Nesconset on Long Island, New York. Her first story, at age 5 was "The
Lobster Which Misunderstood." She studied writing at Princeton
University, graduating in 1987, and had two short stories published by
Seventeen magazine while still in college. Immediately after graduation,
she took on a series of miscellaneous jobs, from editing at a textbook
publishing company to teaching eighth grade English classes. Soon after,
she attended Harvard University to earn her master's degree in
education.
Picoult's novels tend to center on human emotion and
complex human relationships. Most of her books' storylines incorporate a
criminal or civil case which lasts throughout the book's narrative,
concluding shortly before the book ends. In books that don't follow this
pattern, an attorney character is still often included. At the end of
nearly all of her books, there is an unexpected twist.
