Title: So What Have We Learned?
Product review: Make no mistake about it, I enjoyed reading this story told in first person by the daughter of a snake-handling, fundamentalist preacher who exhibits more lunacy than religion. And all the characters are well drawn and very believable. But as did several other reviewers, I too found the ending to be disappointing, even jarring. It seems to me the author, near the end, lost sight of the Grace Shepherd she developed through the first 250 pages, a young girl and later a woman who was intelligent, reflective, and often independent in her thinking. She would not have returned to the church of her father and its dangerously ridiculous routines. More likely an ending would have been the angry, stalking return of her Southern-boy lover from whom she stole several thousand dollars.
