朱迪•皮考特，美国当代著名畅销书作家、小说家。自1992年出版第一部小说以来，其十五部作品无一不持续畅销，包括《离别时刻》《说故事的人》《姐姐的守护者》《换心》《小心轻放的爱》《19分钟的眼泪》等。每有新作，即迅速登上《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》、亚马逊网站等的畅销书榜 。 她常常将小说中的人物置于道德困境之下。面对挑战，真实的人性弱点暴露无遗。这也使得其作品具有强烈的社会话题性，引起广泛争议和探讨。 更为难能可贵的是，作家并非只是抛出问题，而是运用难以置信的共情、智慧和剖白坦率的心理描写，对自我、对他人，进行毫无保留的反思，榨出芸芸众生华贵皮袍下面那些有瑕疵的灵魂。 同时，她也给予我们每个平凡之辈以信心和勇气，只要坚持一点点的正义，这个世界就有被改变的可能。
