Bears within its pages striking beauty and strangeness in equal measure ... a book like Every Bone A Prayer exists in the space between author and reader so viscerally that you can almost hear crawdad shells crunch, wood splinter, and bones groan. And its heart? That is threaded carefully through its pages. It reveals itself slowly, within the books many layers. -- NPRThis is the kind of book we need to set literary expectations for a new decade. Its so textured, so layered with love and so wonderfully terrifying, intimate and magical.--Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American MemoirMistys holler looks like any of the thousands of hollers that fork through the Appalachian Mountains. But Misty knows her home is different. She may be only ten, but she hears things. Even the crawdads in the creek have something to say, if you listen.All that Mistys sister Penny wants to talk about are the strange objects that start appearing outside their trailer. The grown-ups mutter about sins and punishment, but that doesnt scare Misty. Not like the hurtful thing thats been happening to her, the hurtful thing that is becoming part of her.

Written by a survivor of sexual abuse, Every Bone a Prayer is a beautifully honest exploration of healing and of hope.Praise for Every Bone a Prayer: Haunting and healing, Every Bone A Prayer is a powerful debut that will leave its mark on readers hearts.-- Kim Michele Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of The Book Woman of Troublesome CreekAshley Blooms sings in an authentic mountain voice...Like a hawk over a hollow, Blooms both soars and sees all.--Andy Duncan, author of An Agent of Utopia
