The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker
I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but this one's beautiful golden tones and the large dressmaker's dummy called out to me and I just had to read it. I'm glad I did. It's my kind of story, a little mysterious, a little dark, a sprinkling of magical realism and a large helping of explorations of human nature. I loved the honesty of the main character, Truly, and while I think Tiffany Baker could have done a bit better job of fleshing out some of the characters, it was enough for me. It was more a book of impressions than the hard edge of facts and I'm glad she kept it that way.
