I really enjoyed this read. The story follows the Eccota family around the upcoming 15-year anniversary of Ray-Ray’s death. We get to read the story from each family members perspective, really getting to understand each of their inner demons.

Maria and Ernest are asked to foster a child, Wyatt, whom they believe is the spirit of their son Ray-Ray. I really liked that they discussed Cherokee myths and how it played into their realities.

The ending of this book was okay. I would like to hope that Ernest and Maria kept in contact with Wyatt and that Ernest’s health didn’t dwindle after Wyatt’s departure.
