I think this was a fairly good book. I feel a little unresolved at the end, but it wasn’t a bad ending. I guess I’m just unsure what to take away from the story. If there is a moral message it’s unclear. Perhaps that’s better than hitting you over the head with it.

This is a story of a teenage runaway in Northfork Washington who sees the Virgin Mary in the forest. So far it’s very odd and interesting. I think David Guterson is back on track (I wasn’t all that taken with East of the Mountains).
