Being from Phila., the references ring pretty true, including the nod to Maria Goretti (although I too was a Girls' High girl)...but nobody I know wears "tennies" (laughing). Thank you for an intriguing story. About half way thru and enjoying the rollercoaster ride thru the centuries!

It seemed like it was written to be read aloud - especially the way it was read so beautifully on this podcast version. I loved Cleo's character for both her flaws and her strengths.

The characters were intense, the plot well thought out, and the dialogue believable. I loved the way it was told as a first person narrative (not an easy feat), and the way the main character jumped between time periods. I'm not a religious person, but I wasn't the least put off by the religious aspect. It actually made it quite intriguing. If this story doesn't win an award, it should. I recommend this for mature audiences, not because of any gratuitous material (there isn't any), but because children wouldn't "get it."

Wasn't sure I would like a book focused so much on religion but it turns out it was more about ghosts and paranormal things than religion. Enjoyed the book.
