Dan lives with several others at the base of a mountain. Though they have different pasts, they share a connection of having escaped the torment inside the mountain. When a strange woman shows up at Dan’s door, things begin to twist for those in the village, and they find out they have another connection to each other.

When I started this book, it was a bit difficult to see where is was going. I had to keep reading to see if I could understand what was going on. Before I realized it, I was reading because I wanted to see what would happen next. Though the plot is unusual, it proved to be an interesting story. The message in the plot started out subtle, but became more evident as the end neared. Without spoiling things, the characters had to come to grips with truly understanding forgiveness.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
