Bones of Redbird

By D'mari Yates

SOME SECRETS KILL. OTHERS MAIM. In 1993 Northern Arkansas, Callie Honeystill, daughter Sharly Jackson and Sharly's teenage daughter, Nel, share the two-story log cabin all were born in. All are working to get past the betrayal of the men who ran out on them, and all are trying to decide if the word "trust" is still in their vocabulary. Meanwhile, Lemuel Shannon, the family uncle, is accused of killing his parents and siblings in a housefire at age ten. He keeps a secret with one of those women that will topple his niche as "uncle" if it ever breaks loose.

All families have their skeletons, but this family also has members on the church deacons' board, and one owns the town sawmill. Lives have been rolled over for reputations more than once, so what will it take to put things right? It might just be Sharly's long-lost daughter Chloe, Nel's twin, who was abducted at the Tanglewood Creek bridge at age nine. Now she's back. And along with the attitude she carries off the airport's baggage carousel, she brings a baby into the mix. A baby who will grow into a toddler who will uproot that clay-packed family tree just as sure as melt polar ice from its heartwood.

Until Chloe announces she's taking three-year-old Willow to South Africa.
