I remember this being a particular favorite re-read of mine in my mid-teens. The description of the tinkerers/travellers way of life was described in a way that really made it come to life...even the harrowing bits, but I think what I loved most of all about the book was its heroine Cat. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

It was the snow that began it all. "The cuckoo snow" they called it, because it was one of those late falls that can happen in April, when the cuckoo bird begins sending out its soft, insistent cry.
