I won this book through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program and I'm so glad that I did, because I'm not quite sure that I would have picked it up on my own in a bookstore. I'm generally not drawn to books dealing with religion so much, but Miranda's plight was so unique and intriguing that I really had a hard time putting it down. However, I do feel that some of the mysterious aspects of the novel were drawn out a tad bit too long, but this really did not affect the story. I recommend this book, especially to people who are familiar with the TN/GA area and will further understand the geography and the cultural climate that the characters are living in during the novel. I love how Moseley is able to be culturally sensitive to the people and spiritual beliefs of that area, but also add a believable shady spiritual element to the community. Overall, a great, quick read that will make you think a bit.
