THE BLURB:
A captivating tale of suffering, seeking, and redemption set in Appalachia in the 1850s, The Last Sin Eater is the story of a community committed to its myth of a human “sin eater,” who absolves the dead of their sins, and the ten-year-old child who shows them the Truth. All that matters for young Cadi Forbes is finding the one man who can set her free from the sin that plagues her, the sin that has stolen her mother’s love from her and made her wish she could flee life and its terrible injustice. But Cadi doesn’t know that the “sin eater” is seeking as well. Before their journeys are over, Cadi and the sin eater must face themselves, each other, and the One who will demand everything from them in exchange for the answers they seek.

THE FIRST LINE:
GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS, MID 1850’s
The first time I saw the sin eater was the night Granny Forbes was carried to her grave.

The Last Sin Eater is probably my most favorite of Ms Rivers’ books. What a beautiful reminder of the impact of the redemptive work of Christ. Definitely my most recommended Christian fiction.
