A Quiet Peaceful Story

A very sweet and low key addition to the series covering the important decision facing Daniel at midwinter. Lovely and poetic writing with some real wisdom about life and death. Taranah’s statement that the inevitability of death is a promise of grace, not a threat of punishment, will stick with me for a long time. A nice addition to a really enjoyable and interesting series.
