I am from an isolated place in the NC/VA Appalachian Mountains. My Dad, age 100, was a historian and columnist. He said that mountain natives wrote him, or had someone write for them, and said that the "Sin Eater" is true. They remember it from their childhood.
The ancestors of the local people were Scotch-Irish and English. They came to the mountains in the 1700's. The mountains are rugged therefore they were completely isolated. As a result, many of the customs, ballads, speech and tales are from the 1700's. In "The History of English"
Dr. Cratis Williams, a longtime family friend, addresses some of the speech patterns/words from the "back hills”.
In summary, the book is fiction but the custom is true. It really happened.

If you are interested in Southern Appalachian history and our cultural connection to Europe, you will find this book fascinating, as did I, albeit a bit weird. Great historical fiction based in the historical culture of early Southern Appalachia. Tends toward the supernatural while being realistic. (I also recommend an older book set in the Southern Appalachians---Where the Lilies Bloom---both in book and film.)
This author is a master of storytelling, and this story of hers may be my favorite one. It's beautiful and grips your heart and mind. From the first you feel the tensions of little Cadi. She knows something is wrong. Something is not what it seems. And you can't stop reading because you want to know, too.
Some writers use so much description and flowery language that it over shadows the story. Not Ms. Rivers. Her story captures you from the first. It's compelling. You just have to read.
It's just a piece of art. Beautiful.
Francine Rivers writes thought provoking, mesmerizing allegory about the people of the Appalachian hills. She explores the tragedy that comes of secrecy and lies. The characters are engaging and pulled me into their tragic lives until the truth through Jesus comes to light. There are many twists and turns and surprises throughout her writing. I read it in two days. I highly recommend this book.
I love reading historical fiction about places I have never been. Though these people at not real, their characters hold a grip on us. We know their hearts because we have hearts the same. It was amazing how the Word of God was only spoken by the man, yet the children spoke it to others. Only have faith! Excellent story, as always, from Rivers.
In the story, people thought "the sin eater" was a human being that could take away the sin of another human being after they died.

In the end the author gives the complete plan of salvation, explaining that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, sacrificed Himself on Calvary and took upon Himself the sins of every human being. " In Him, we have redemption, through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace". The choice to ask forgiveness of sin is while a person is alive.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY ONE who can forgive sin. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 316
This book took me back to the simple and powerful story of grace that is found in Jesus taking our place on the cross as the blameless Lamb of God! It reminded me of all the ways I tried to earn salvation, living a 'good' life in my strength and ways; and all the ways that I have tried to remain in Christ in my own strength and understanding... And eventually knowing and understanding grace and finding rest in Christ alone. It is a beautifully written story with an intriguing mix of characters. Whilst deep, it is also funny and moving emotionally, particularly living out what Cadi has made things mean and the effect this has on her. I can totally relate to that! And like her, it took the TRUTH, Jesus to redeem me and speak what is true to my heart dispelling all the lies. I would recommend this book for anyone looking to return to their first love in Jesus; seeking and searching for the truth and wanting to understand the message of the gospel in a non-theological and non-threatening way; who enjoys good Christian fiction that brings the Word of God alive; and anyone who has experienced childhood emotional trauma that has negatively impacted your esteem. It will help the latter process in the light of the Word of God walking with Cadi as she processes her experiences and finds healing and new life.
Next to the Bible, this is one of the most stunning, absolutely marvelous Christ based books I have ever read. Francine Rivers writes in a way that had me praying in way I never had before, and seeing scripture coming even more alive as I viewed Christian lives in action, much like reading the Bible as a novel. I couldn't wait to finish it and yet I was so sad when I did. I wanted the story to go on and on. The Last Sin Eater is Bible based. I relearned things I had known most of my life, but not truly recognized their truth and meaning. This book will have it's place with my other Christian books, as will The series Mark of the Lion and A Linage of Grace. I intend to purchase all the Christian works of this writer and highly recommend her to any and every one.
