One of my favorites of Sharyn McCrumb's "ballad" books. The legend of a pioneer woman's ghostly travels mingles with that of a young scholar taking an ill-prepared hike through the hills to find out the truth of her story, an escaped convict with alcohol-induced brain disorder making his way home, and changes in the lives of some of the lead characters from throughout the series. As always, McCrumb's skill with creating mystical atmosphere and strong characters make for a book you won't want to put down.
