Review
“Inspired by the real-life kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, the author of the Christy Award–winning Into the Free and Carol Award winner When Mountains Move has written an excruciatingly dark and disturbing novel about the devastating impact of sex trafficking on two families. Although Cantrell inserts a grain of hope in the novel, her portrait of loss and heartbreak will leave readers reeling. This latest work is bound to be nominated for all the major CF literary awards.” Starred review (Library Journal)
“Deeply emotional, moving and full of amazing imagery, Cantrell's latest is a triumph. This is a book to be savored and pondered.' (RT Book Reviews)

Beautiful story but disappointed with the ending
By Breezemom
I really struggled with how to review this book. I'm giving it a 2, not because it's a poorly written book, but because I wanted to offer a contrasting review to those who are giving it high ratings. (I know that personally, I always look at the 1 and 2 star ratings to find out why some people had a different perspective, so that's what I offer here) Julie Cantrell's "Into the Free" series was just beautiful, so I looked forward to reading this one, "The Feathered Bone" as well. However, this book was just far too sad for me. While I'm sure the author intended it to be a "triumph over tragedy" story that shows how even through the darkest of circumstances, life must go on and it can go on with faith and renewed hope, I did not reach the end of this book and feel hope. I felt devastated.
I really think that your perspective on this book will have a lot to do with your personal faith, your own comfort level and how willing you are to face your worst fears and believe there is still hope on the other side of horrible things happening to you. The main character in this book, Amanda, and those around her, face so many difficult things that as a reader, it's hard not to feel assaulted such a range of negative emotions that you almost want to set the book aside.
It doesn't start off that way. If you picked up the book, you already know the basic premise. I'll admit, at first, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, but I think that's because the human heart wants to hope and I couldn't wait to get to the positive outcome after so much heartbreak. However, though the author brings about a positive outcome in her own way, through the strengthening of the main character's faith and through the survivalist mentality of other characters, I did not get the full, positive outcome that I had feverishly flipped through so many pages to find.
I will give Julie Cantrell credit for capturing the truth in these terrible circumstances. Not everything in life is left in a tidy bow at the end. But I think many of us who read want fiction to have a happier ending than real life often does. It doesn't have to be 100% happy because it needs to be realistic, but I think most of us are satisfied with "more happy than sad." In this case, I was just more sad.
Light spoiler:
Julie Cantrell cites several different inspirations for this story, one of them being the story of Elizabeth Smart. If you followed the cases of Elizabeth Smart, Jaycee Dugard, or Shawn Hornbeck you understand that these abducted children can never "undo" what they went through and that they were changed by their experiences. Because of being so focused on the bad things that happen to these children, we may not often think about what is happening in the day to day lives of those that child left behind and what might be drastically different even if that child returns.
In this book, Julie Cantrell already has so many things going on in the lives of the characters that it's a constant battle to stay positive and then she heaps additional sadness onto people who have already suffered enough. In the moment that she did that, I lost all hope of a positive ending to the book because it was no longer possible, at least in the way I'd hoped for all along.
I went ahead and finished it, of course, because I wanted to see what the author's intent was in all of this. It's then that you get that it's more of a triumph in the battle of the mind than what actually happens in the circumstances of the characters.
From strictly a writing standpoint, there were two parts I had an issue with. I didn't feel like the missing girl's mother was realistic enough, or maybe her character was just underdeveloped. Most of us probably can't imagine going on with everyday life if a child was missing. We'd like to think we'd be pounding the pavement every hour of every day looking for that child. While the mother does look for the child and IS emotional, she's not portrayed as having the total breakdown that would be more believable. Also, the long-awaited climactic moment of the story was a bit anti-climactic. THIS was what I'd been waiting for through days of reading, and yet, when it came, the means by which it came and the dialogue wasn't what I would have expected. A very central character did not react at all the way I thought they should. I felt like I was more upset by the previous plot twists and turns than this character was.
Don't get me wrong, Julie Cantrell is a wonderful author. There is a certain poetry to her wording and she plunges you into the depths to make you think on things you may have never thought of on your own. And this IS a beautiful story if you are satisfied with the characters just growing and changing within themselves. But, if you are expecting or wanting a certain outcome, you may just end up sad, as I did.

Fantastic Read
By Youthpastor
Honestly, I chose “The Feathered Bone” because it was one of the choices that was still offered as a “real life, hold in my hand, tangible” book. After reading through the first few pages, I wondered if I would like this story because I felt that the author’s descriptions of the surroundings and goings-on bogged down the tale. But, I muscled through. And I am glad I did.
“The Feathered Bone” addresses a few of the tragic issues facing our Country today. One of those is the atrocity of human trafficking. The author weaves together a story that prompts the reader to sit on the edge of his seat. But, it’s not a story for the faint of heart.
The horror of human trafficking coupled with an unexpected tragedy, brought tears to my eyes. In fact, at one point I laid the book aside to pick up a few groceries at the store. As I pushed the cart up and down the aisles, I hoped the scene I left was only a horrific nightmare. Yes, the author did that good of story telling to draw me in.
I look forward to reading other books by Julie Cantrell.

... this entire novel in two sittings - it's a beautiful tribute to love
By Reviewer Girl
Read this entire novel in two sittings - it's a beautiful tribute to love, loss, and faith. Cantrell is indeed on her best game with this new novel. The descriptions of New Orleans are lovely and spot-on, as well! Highly recommend.
