Lily is a girl who discovers she has the ability to see how others will die simply by touching them. Only she doesn’t want this gift. When her mother sells Lily to a preacher and his travelling tent revival, Lily is torn away from home and thrust into a world of greed and manipulation that threatens to destroy her unless she can find a way back.
“…this novel is at heart a fairy tale in the grand, dark tradition of the best of such stories; the book speaks to the reader’s deepest fears and highest hopes, told through the odyssey of a girl who is scared by what is happening around her and within her.”
