A Pocketful of Crows by Joanne Harris
This story centers on a young, wild, nameless girl. Some called her a witch, others one of the traveling folk, who ride along with wild animals and view the world through their eyes. Watching one of the village girls place a love token by the fairy tree, she begins a quest that will take her away from everything she knows, finding love and taking a name but losing much more. Over time, she learns that passion is reserved not only for love but also for revenge. Find it at the Library.
