Although my first book with this author turned me off I almost always try to give an author a second chance and this time I'm glad I did. In this book, a young woman believes that as a child she caused her mother's death because of her last conversation with her mother. Like children sometimes are, she was upset with her mother. So, growing up she had a morbid obsession with death. It took some strange life experiences, the love of two men, and the illness and death of her brother to recognize and accept the person she was and work to become the person she could be. I found this most inspiring.
