This book is a tender and magical look into a writer's past – where she comes from, the stories she has left untold, the secrets that have been kept from her. It's such a romantic notion to start a cemetery to lay your untold stories to rest. As a writer myself, I understand this completely. I loved Alma, Philomena, and the place they built.
