Dec 7, 2020
Mud, named by her mother after a particular verse in the Bible, lives alone and survives in the wild after the death of her mother. A couple of years after her loss, circumstances land her in the neighboring village, where she catches the attention of a preacher's wife (Grace). Mud faces many obstacles, such as who to trust, learning to read and write and speak correctly, as well as figuring out her future. Many surprises reveal themselves along the way as we read from both Grace and Mud's altering points of view.
