I loved this book about a disrupted birthday—coming of age party!

When a train crashes, folks from the accident start to wander into the house. How to feed them? There’s barely enough food for the party.

And who is the stranger who seems to have a past with Emerald's mother?  And why does Smudge have a horse upstairs in her bedroom?

The newly-appointed priest, Father LaSalle, mistakenly suspects them of sorcery, leading to a confrontation and Abran’s exile from the local church. The resulting story is compelling and surprising.

I did not know I was reading a Young Adult book, but it was a very hard read for me.  I loved how it was written, but the subject of the Holocaust is always a tough one.  Death narrates this book and he pulls you in quickly.  Have a box of tissues ready.
