When the Bones Sing

Lo believes in heaven, but he also believes hell is a real, actual place. Like Utah is. So the idea of heaven never gives him much peace. Not with hell just a stone’s throw away. And that always seems like such a rip-off to me. Why have any belief at all if there’s no comfort in it?

For Granny Pearl and Lo, there’s no distinction at all between science and religion and magic. They’re all branches of the same tree. Boil them down together to make your own brew and flavor it with whatever else you want to believe in. That’s the way they see it.

“Every story in the world is at least partly true, Dovie.”
