THE MILL stands: battered and surrounded by ash. Inside, five young people are clinging to life. A surprising conclusion to the series, ASH is a dark and poignant fable that confronts the sins of our ancestors and our struggle to find hope in the darkest of corners of our nation’s past – and within the mill itself. Can hope take root on such poisoned ground?

"A reimagining of the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice journeys to the underworld, where she reunites with her beloved father and struggles to recover lost memories of her husband and the world she left behind." - from the publisher
Realistic
Themes of love, marriage and faith twine through a tragicomic celebration of marriage that starts in Puerto Rico and ends 38 years later in America: not just the happily-ever-after part, but the mingled fondness and regret that can hold a couple together when passion fades.
