Just to be clear on one thing - this is most def. not the 'sequel' to Root Cellar, and both stand on their own just fine.

What else is it? A rich bit of historical fiction. A haunting romance. A ghost story. And a story of a teen girl who makes her own way in a time & place that tested the strength & resolve of grown men. Gracefully, engagingly, even entertainingly written.
