This was a fairly easy, quick read. Very compelling story as the author reveals the history of the community's funeral practices, as well as how the settlers came to the area where they live. The main character, a very young girl, has her own tragic history, which is revealed as the story progresses. Not a very challenging book, but an inviting story that pulls the reader in.

While a bit slow at the start, it gained momentum (maybe too much, at the end, as it wrapped up some subjects a bit too hastily for me). Enjoyed hearing about the culture and loved the redemptive storyline!
