 The girl can work a metaphor. Possibly some of the best writing I have ever read. "The tablet was old, used and overworked, like elbows."

 Very good book! Anyone that struggles to understand the Southern religious tradition should read it.

 I've read this a few times. It's amazing and sad and has some funny moments. Is mostly a serious, dramatic type read though. It follows a confused girl that lives in her grandfather's "church" commune.

 Easy read. Coming of age story. Why does the girl always get the short end of the stick and the guy simply slips away?

 I love books like this that take you away from so-called normal life and put you in the shoes of other cultures.

 One of those books you can't put down. It was very good but the ending left me wanting more than what was given. There could easily be a sequal to this book.

 This was a favorite of mine for the simplicity and yet complex nature of the story as it is woven through themes of the simplicity of faith and the backwardness of religion.

 A sure sign you read a ton is when you almost finish a book then realize you read it already! It was still good the second time around.

 Another interesting read from Sheri Reynolds full of conflicted people and interesting relationships. While not my favorite of her books, a good read. Who doesn't love a slightly naughty, yet amazingly loving grandmother.
