Bone’s Gift (Ghosts of Ordinary Objects series)

In a southern Virginia coal-mining town at the start of World War II, twelve-year-old Laurel, known as Bone, discovers her family’s Gift. By touching an object that mattered to someone, Bone senses its past and sees stories connected to it. These visions can hold happiness or pain, including a deer’s death, a beating, or joy associated with a fiddle. Bone is unsettled by this ability and must consider whether it is a gift, a curse, or both.
