WOW!!!! This book was absolutely amazing. Kya- young girl living in an abusive home deals with living a lifestyle that brings judgment and is ostracized from the surround community. As this young woman gets older she continues to navigate through all of these difficult situations while being utterly alone. 

The poetry excerpts within the book give glimpses into the emotionally complex young woman. 

While everyone else has been unreliable, nature and its creatures remained present for their never ending lessons and support. 

Delia Owens absolutely knocked this one out of the park. The writing was absolutely beautiful. This book moved me to tears.
