It’s a little known book, but oh my McElmurray is a glorious writer. It’s about a fortune teller’s daughter trying find her way in life in Appalachia. McElmurray’s memoir Surrendered Child is one of my favorites, but I’m biased because my family is the other side of the story. Can’t really share without spoilers.
