Badly burned in a household accident when she was a child, Finch Nobles grows into a courageous and feisty loner who eschews the pity of her hometown and discovers that she can hear the voices of the people buried in her father's cemetery. I enjoyed this book very much. It is well written with characters who come alive (especially if you've ever lived in a small town). I loved Finch because she isn't perfect, and not just in appearance. All the characters have their flaws, and that include the inhabitants of the cemetery. There were very small parts of the book that disturbed me, but that only brought the story alive even more because it makes the story more real. The book is also full of laughs, and you may even shed a few tears. I highly recommend it to readers who like literature set in small towns and/or books with just a bit of fantasy without being truly in that genre. By the author of "The Rapture of Canaan."
