Loved it! Give me more!

I couldn't put this book down and read it in one sitting. It's about the death of a troubled woman by suicide or accident, we're not sure, and the lives of those around her. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of these people. Robin Beeman has a lovely, lyrical way with words. I love the subtle metaphors that ran throughout this book, starting with the description of the cutting down of firs in the first chapter. But most of all I was taken in by her incredible ability to create believable characters of depth and conflicting desires, all in a very understated prose. I will now go look for her first book and anxiously await her next, due out in September. She is the real McCoy.
