Keturah and Lord Death

(2) YA When sixteen-year-old Keturah is taken by Death, she uses her storytelling skills to bargain with the lord. Caught in the web of her story, he grants her a day's respite so he can hear the rest and promises that if she finds her true love, he will let her live. This unusual blend of folktale, myth, and romance has an unexpected, thought-provoking conclusion.
