It took me months to finish this book. The writing is so beautiful, raw, and whimsical that I just wanted to take my time with it. This is a story of a young girl who has the ability to know how a spirit left the earthly plane by eating the earth where they died. You continue to learn about her gift, her community, and how her family system supported her and left her alone with her brother. She also learns some valuable lessons of what she can and can not do as an earth eater.

I enjoyed this cozy! I loved that it was inter generational. Samantha and her grandmother made a great team. I just loved their relationship and the solving of the crimes. I also loved that it was a historical cozy book within a modern day cozy. I don’t know how it worked but it worked.
