The Last Sin Eater

This was a good one!

Set in the 1800's in the Appalachian mountains, a community of people place all their hope on the Sin Eater, a man who will come to their grave and eat their sins so they can have eternal life...and as he does this, he assumes their evil debt and accepts that he will go to hell for the sins of the community. Until...

This really was such a fabulous read by Francine Rivers. The children and the burden they carry. The sorrow of the community and the secrets that some would die for. I could not put this book down. And after everyone was in bed asleep, I would sit and read quietly out loud in my best Scottish accent.

I recommend this book!
