A great fullness

the long version

A Great Fullness is the story of an orphan who lives with a secret even she doesn't know she possesses - the truth about her mother's death. Growing up amid the endless turnover of guests at her aunt and uncle's bed and breakfast inn, Kim Pugh tries to find her place in a world where everyone is a stranger and many have secrets of their own. Set in small-town Kansas as the new millennium ushers in a decade of tragedy and war, A Great Fullness traces the fate of one family whose struggle for survival and redemption echoes the turbulence of a troubled world.
