The Executioner's Daughter

134 pp. | Holt | June, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6234-3 $$15.95
(3) 4-6 Lily, who works in her parents' apothecary and heals injured animals, lives as an outcast because her father is the town executioner. When her mother dies and she must begin assisting her father in public executions, Lily makes a crucial decision about her future. The spare prose unobtrusively depicts the medieval setting and quietly charts Lily's journey from rigid acceptance of society's norms to more equivocal understanding.
