Keturah and Lord Death

by Martine Leavitt

Summary: Keturah is well-known for her storytelling in her village. One day, she wanders too far into the woods, and encounters Lord Death, who wants to take her away. She weaves a tale so good it convinces him to give her one more day, because he must hear the end of the story. Each day, she continues to meet him and draw out the story, until Lord Death loses patience and requires her to bring the true ending and directs her to find her true love. Will Keturah find her love in time to save her life?

My thoughts: What a great story, with a shocking ending!
