Bones & AllBeautifully written and utterly absorbing from the first word, this is a haunting coming of age novel that's good enough to eat . . . Abandoned by her mother with only some cash, her birth certificate and the rucksack on her back, a young woman named Maren sets off on a long journey of self discovery. She doesn't blame her mother for leaving; she's only too aware of the trail of pain and tragedy that lies in her wake, following her like a ghost.
