I stumbled upon this book and had only intended on it being a light read; however, I found that this novel was so much more. It is a fairly peculiar story of a girl named Jude who is taken under the wing of her legal guardian, Oliver, after she is left without parents. Their extraordinary relationship experiences so many highs and lows and takes breathtaking turns. I can see how this book may not appeal to everyone, but I think Devlin is deserving of praise for having written such a lyrical novel.

This is a true gem of a story. While I followed along with the story of Codi I found myself looking at my own life and what truth means to each individual. It is a woven embroidery of love, family, faith, truth, mystery, and so much more. It is captivating and inspiring. The main character Codi Noline takes an odyssey to find herself when she returns to her hometown Grace, Arizona and finds that she never had to go so far away to find the answers that she had longed for. Kingsolver does not disappoint.
