In an isolated cemetery in a small American town, Finch Nobles tends to the flowers and shrubs that surround the gravestones.
Badly burned in a household accident when she was four, Finch is ostracised by her community and discovers that if she listens closely, she can hear the voices of the dead. Finally, when she speaks, they answer back, telling their stories in a remarkable chorus of regrets, explanations and insights, and leading Finch back to the land of the living.
With richly poetic prose, Sheri Reynolds creates a world that is at once fantastic and palpably real. 'A Gracious Plenty' is a reading experience you will never forget.
