RE: Do you think the vanished men ...
I agree with the other comments. All these men preyed upon those weaker than themselves and were a threat to the community. Most likely very little would have been done to them had they been involved in the legal system. Tiny righted wrongs and protected those weaker in his community. Tiny was also a vulnerable member of his community and he seemed to recognize that distinct threat these men posed. His actions, on a simplistic level , removed the threat and made the community safer. Tiny showed his courage and loyalty to his friends and his community and perhaps that’s a lesson for everyone.

RE: Did you relate to Lucy or Bert?
I related more to Lucy because I was a reader when I was their age. I really liked the way that the story was told using alternating chapters for each girl

RE: The German Prisoner of War
As a history major in college, I had a lot of opportunities to learn about this historical event, but never did. Of course, I had never hear about the Tulsa burning of the Black community either. So much history can be told through a good story.

Both girls have totally different language skills, each uses their skills in a different way. Definitely an interesting aspect of the book to watch. The difference does seem to lessen as the book progresses.

Language set both Bert and Lucy apart from others but in very different ways.

RE: Did Lucy, Bert, and Irene do the ...
Nothing would be gained by telling the community that Tiny Junior had murdered the three "bad guys". I agree with Irene, Bert and Lu's decision to save Tiny's reputation and his mother's memories of him as beloved member of her family and their town. That being said, it bothers me that the story wasn't finished. The families of the murdered men deserved some closure, especially that of "Frankie Tender".

RE: What role does purple honey play in ...
I have heard of purple honey, but have never actually seen it. Honey does take on the color and flavor of the flowers the bees are pollinating. I love bees and all they represent. They are so amazing in so many ways. The challenges they are now facing relates to how we have to find our way back to connecting with nature. I think in this book the purple honey represents a connection to life and nature that people often ignore. It is a magical link to a world that Trula inhabits. The family sees the purple honey as a way to heal themselves and others with faith in something beyond the normal world.
