The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister - A favorite from a year ago

Loved this book when I read it last summer, so I decided to add it to the blog. The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emmeline is a small child when she and her father move to a deserted island in the Pacific Southwest. For ten years they live together, separate from the rest of the world, surviving on food they have foraged, and with only each other for company. Emmeline's father tells her fairy tales about Jack who can capture scents, and about a princess who is imprisoned in a white castle. After his death, she will find out these are the stories of his life, and she is left to wonder who she really is. Who are her parents? As she searches and finds answers, she begins to understand both herself and them better, and it will change how she thinks of each one. The Scent Keeper is a book that makes us realize that we never really know the people we are closest to, and that everyone's story can look different through a different set of eyes.
