A touching story of a girl who has survived. Survived being born into a world where disability is a death sentence, survived her mother's death, survived incredible odds. Now she's valued for her ability with dye and threads and has a purpose but there are mysteries around her life, mysteries that she must face.

It's a wonderful story, full of strange detail and wonderful characters, hope and sorrow. A quick read that will stay with me.
