“Feathers—no matter what size or shape or color—are all the same, if you think about them. They’re soft. Delicate. But the secret thing about feathers is . . . they are very strong.”

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.

I love this author and I really like this book - except it is so poorly narrated. She does not read smoothly and allow for punctuation. She pauses in all the wrong places. She really needs to practice each paragraph before she reads it audibly.

It is a very sad book and needs to add a little humor to give us poor readers a break now and then. However, overall the book itself is very good. I would have given it 4 stars or even 4 1/2...except for the narration.

Great book except...

I wish the narrator was from Louisiana and could correctly pronounce Etoufee and Pirogue… Good story line addressing topics that affect people today!

Good book! Love reading about Louisiana

I didn’t like the death of the girl. I understand it happens but I just didn’t like that part. I almost stopped listening to the story.

Seemed like the timeline went too long
