It consisted of Human Trafficking, abusive relationships, and suicide are all disturbing; no matter how well the story is written it was a very upsetting book for me. I did not even make it three quarters of the way through the book if that, and had to quit, I just could not read anymore. It hit home for me personally, with the suicide and the abuse. I just could not go on any longer. I received this book free from Zondervan part of the BookLook Bloggers program, for my honest and un-biased opinion. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In the pre-Katrina glow of New Orleans, Amanda Salassi is anxious about chaperoning her daughter's sixth-grade field trip to the Big Easy during Halloween. And then her worst fears come true. Her daughter's best friend, Sarah, disappears amid the magic and revelry-gone, without a trace. Unable to cope with her guilt, Amanda's daughter sinks into depression. And Amanda's husband turns destructive as he watches his family succumb to grief. Before long, Amanda's whole world has collapsed. Amanda knows she has to save herself before it's too late. As she continues to search for Sarah, she embarks on a personal journey, seeking hope and purpose in the wake of so much tragedy and loss. Set amidst the murky parishes of rural Louisiana and told through the eyes of two women who confront the darkest corners of humanity with quiet and unbreakable faith, The Feathered Bone is Julie Cantrell's master portrait of love in a fallen world.

What just hit me? It's Julie Cantrell's latest book, the Feathered Stone.
I really feel like I've been through the wringer of emotions and I've had more than one ugly cry because, y'all, this book is HARD. Cantrell's characters are real and complex, the story is layered and the themes difficult. It's a look at what happens when the "it could never happen to me" does.
Featuring themes of child abduction and trafficking, teen depression and suicide, spousal abuse and balanced with those of forgiveness, faith and hope, this book has a lot to offer. It did start out slowly, but the author is building the foundation - once it starts to gain momentum it doesn't slow down.
Can't recommend this book enough (but I do, and my full review is on the blog at http://www.mommaontherocks.com/6869/wirw-the-feathered-bone).
Many thanks to the publisher for an eARC of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ( )
