- Reading
- If the ghostly uncertainty feels unsettling, check in as you read and talk about how the book distinguishes what characters believe from what they know.
- Themes
- Is the girl a ghost?: A girl Ronald Earl was supposed to have healed appears around the revival circuit; he wonders whether she is devoted to him or haunting him. The premise sustains uncertainty about the girl's presence and meaning rather than settling her nature at the outset.
- Worth knowing
- The supernatural mystery, the girl's supposed healing and Ronald Earl's doubts about his calling may prompt questions about faith, responsibility and uncertainty.
