Publisher's Summary
On the Day of the Dead, at the Solona Music Hall, Altagracia Quintero meets John Burns - just two weeks too late.
Grace, as her friends call her, has a Ford Motor Company tattoo running down her leg and grease worked deep into her hands. She works at Sanchez Motorworks customizing hot rods. Finding the line in a classic car is her calling. Now Grace has to find the line in her own life. Grace loves John, and John loves her, and that would be wonderful, except that John, like Grace, has unfinished business: He's haunted by the childhood death of his younger brother. He's never stopped feeling responsible. Before their relationship can find its resolution, the two of them will have to teach each other about life and love, about hot rods and Elvis Presley, and about why it's necessary to let some things go.
What the critics say
Charles de Lint, multiple winner of the Yalsa Best Book for Young Adult Award, "believes in the power of magic - or at least the magic of fiction - to open our eyes to a larger world." (Edmonton Journal)
"Charles de Lint is the modern master of urban fantasy. Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legend - all of it adds up to pure magic in de Lint's vivid, original world. No one does it better." (Alice Hoffman)
"The story develops through comforting, warm compassion to reach the inevitable, mostly satisfying solution." (Publishers Weekly)

Amazing love story, mixed with fun
I read this story several years ago and never forgot about it. It's such an amazing and touching story that changes your view about life, love and death.

The plot description doesn't do the tale justice
I had a hard time getting used to the narration because I'd already assigned the characters a voice etc when I read hard copies but I did adjust and grow to appreciate them all the same. The story as always by this author was wonderful and I have no doubt I will return to re-read this in a few years from now as I did today. Looking forward to more of his books being released on audiobook. The Ivory And The Horn, Mulengro, Spirits In The Wires and more. Hurry up pls Mr. De Lint
