![]() It’s not really a gripping page-turner in the sense that there’s an urgent mystery to solve or anything like that. Penance takes place over a decade after these events, in five chapters told from the point of view of each of the girls and Emily’s mother, and focuses on the aftermath of the murder, and the effect it had on each of them. The problem is, the four remaining girls can’t remember what the man looked like. One day a man approaches them while they’re playing, asks if one of them could help him for a moment, and walks off with Emily. Sae, Maki, Akiko, and Yuko were a close group of friends, joined by Emily in the summer of fourth grade, whose family just moved to their rural town. ![]() ![]() ![]() Five girls go out to play and only four come home. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With her meticulous eye for detail and her knack for creating living, breathing characters, Frantz continues to enchant historical fiction readers who long to feel they are a part of the story.

It’s a blend of happy pinks and brooding blues. I see all the things that I find in life as well as what I put into the story that is The Empty Jar. When I look at it, I see so much more than just a picture. Not only is this story extremely special to me, but this is probably my favorite cover of all my books. When I got the paperback proof in the other day, I held it in my hands and I just stared at it. You might not realize just how much NOW, but once you read it, you’ll be like, “Yeah. And finally… finally, I feel like it does:) I wanted the cover to speak of the book, wanted it to show the highs and lows, the sweet and the poignant, the depth of it, if you will. There was a certain “feel” that I wanted to achieve with it and I wasn’t happy until I felt that it jumped right out when I looked at it. This cover… GAH! Y’all, it took me forEVER to get it just right. ![]() ![]() I feel like I’ve been waiting AGES to share this with you! IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR THE EMPTY JAR COVER REVEAL!!!
