And even when she is “forgiven” by the church she continues to suffer, on and on. I get angry every time I read of Kristin’s “sin” and of the church’s perceptions of sin, and on top of that there are Kristin’s heart-rending feelings for her Father, and her Husband and her Sons. Her guilt and angst-ridden brooding are making me nauseous. I am enjoying the historic elements, political intrigue and depictions of daily life but I am having a really hard time with the Church and with Kristin’s religious beliefs.

I was unprepared to be shown their origins: pets’ family life prior to death. I am accustomed to these non-fiction presentations starting with the ghost. That’s one reason these compelling, heavily emotional accounts get four-star feedback. It was definitely not the trivial former but not quite the latter. This collection might have been one of two types: unserious, with spookiness as the goal, or containing encouraging testimonies about loved ones staying near us after death uplifting and healing.
