Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

(originally posted on February 20, 2007 on BookTrail@edublogs.org)
I just finished reading Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt. If you like romance, you should enjoy this book. Keturah Reeve, a peasant girl, wanders away from her loving village out into the forest following the legendary hart and soon she is lost. After three days of wandering deeper into the forest, Keturah weak with fatigue and hunger realizes she is dying. When Lord Death comes to claim her, Keturah uses her storytelling skills to gain another day. She strikes a bargain with Lord Death that if she can find true love, he will have to let her go. Lord Death returns her to the edge of the forest close to her grandmother's cottage after Keturah promises to return the next night to finish her story and to be claimed by Lord Death. Will Keturah find her true love in just a day?
