This is ignored by those peddling more things we “deserve.” We’re blessed just to have been born, to be able to take another breath, and we’re blessed to have had life at all. Death will come, too. For Christians, even death is a blessing. Krueger simplifies the process in one short sentence.
While The River We Remember isn’t my favorite William Kent Kreuger novel, he weaves brief and insightful descriptions in all his work. If you’ve not read any Kreuger, I’d recommend his work (especially This Tender Land)! Beautifully meandering fiction. Check him out in Goodreads.
