Kept me guessing a bit
Pros: Interesting, unique characters, unique plot, believable dialogue
Cons: Near the end it was a little predictable but still kept me guessing
Nice read. Short read about a white young woman who refuses to go home to Alabama because she made a bargain with God. Now, she must return to her hometown and break her covenent with God.

It's short - fast paced. Buy it - ...
