Keeper of the Night
Keeper of the Night | Kimberly Willis Holt
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A powerful new novel from the award-winning author of When Zachary Beaver Came to Town. Isabel's mother died peacefully. At least that's what Isabel likes to think since no one will talk about the truth. But the truth has a way of revealing itself at night. Ta`Ta sleeps curled up on the floor right where Mama's body was found. Olivia wets her bed and wakes repeatedly from nightmares, and Frank starts carving his anger into his bedroom wall. It's up to Isabel to help her family get beyond the pain and lossto be the keeper of the night. But who will be there for Isabel and help her through to the other side? Set on the lush island of Guam, Kimberly Willis Holt has written a painfully beautiful story about a young woman's struggle to protect her family after suicide hits home.

Isabel, oldest of 3 in Guam, works hard to keep her family intact after her mom succeeds with suicide. TaTa works all the time, Olivia has nightmares, and Frank is unrecognizable. But who will care for Isabel? Well written.

Such a precious story of a family coming to terms with a mother's suicide set in Guam. The only part I disliked was the training of chickens to fight, but I understood it showed part of the Chamorro culture.
