"You my lucky piece," Grandma says.
Rachel Morse's grandmother says this to her as they are leaving a hospital where Rachel was recuperating after a violent family event. Knowing the family tragedy that precedes the events of the novel, I wanted to read to the end of the book to see why her grandmother considers her a lucky piece.
Oh, I really enjoyed Durrow's debut novel.
