Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

I didn't mind this book. Keturah finds herself following an animal into the forest and gets lost. After a few days she finds herself almost dead and Lord Death comes to her to take her. He tells her that her village is going to be taken by the plague because they do not care about their lands. Keturah tells Lord Death a story about true love and bargains with him to let her live one more day and the following night she would tell him the end of the story. He agrees to let her live if she is able to find her true love, otherwise she is to marry him. She ends up helping all the towns people and continues her story for three days before finally realizing her true love is Lord Death. This tale reminded me of the Storyteller's Daughter tale, but a much better rendition of it.
