The Feathered Bone by Julie Cantrell
4.0
CW: (I'm going to censor this as a spoiler because it might give some parts of the story away. Only open if there are triggers you're concerned about.)
The characters rely heavily on their faith to get them through hard times, and while I can appreciate that religion also helps many, many people in real life, I felt like it was mentioned a little too often. However, I feel like I should stress that this is an important read, regardless of your beliefs. I identify as an atheist, but I still loved this story and was inspired with how strong the characters were. I was also touched and impressed by the overall meaning- Cantrell's writing really drives the message into your brain: You are loved. Whether that love is coming from your friends, your family, a God, your pets... people need you and care about you more than you realize.
If you're looking for a book about courage, grief, and strength, check this one out.
