Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFeathers\u2014no matter what size or shape or color\u2014are all the same, if you think about them. They\u2019re soft. Delicate. But the secret thing about feathers is . . . they are very strong.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the pre-Katrina glow of New Orleans, Amanda Salassi is anxious about chaperoning her daughter\u2019s sixth-grade field trip to the Big Easy during Halloween. And then her worst fears come true. Her daughter\u2019s best friend, Sarah, disappears amid the magic and revelry\u2014gone, without a trace.<\/p>\n

Unable to cope with her guilt, Amanda\u2019s daughter sinks into depression. And Amanda\u2019s husband turns destructive as he watches his family succumb to grief. Before long, Amanda\u2019s whole world has collapsed.<\/p>\n

Amanda knows she has to save herself before it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0<\/em>is Julie Cantrell\u2019s master portrait of love in a fallen world.<\/p>\n
