Miranda had been dreaming of ghosts. She lay in her hotel room,
wide awake and alone except for the dog, Ashes, she earlier found
running around the rubble of Ground Zero. What was that noise?
Something reached beneath the covers and grabbed her ankle. It felt
like a hand was squeezing her leg but there was no one in the room.
She gasped at the fuzzy light that materialized at the end of her
bed. She could make out the shape of a ghostly man. He was
breathing heavily and she could see right through him. I Will
Always Love You is a suspenseful novel that will keep the reader
turning the pages After the 9/11 attacks Miranda travels to
Manhattan searching for Jake, her missing brother whom she was
separated from as a child. At Ground Zero she sees his ghost.
Christopher Michaels, a survivor of Tower Two, claims to be Jake's
best friend. Is it really fate like Michaels declared that of the
thousands mourning at Ground Zero, it was him Miranda bumped into?
She has no choice but to hang out with the weird Michaels in order
to unravel her brother's past. As Miranda spends time with
Michaels, she begins to wonder who he really is. Against her better
judgment, Miranda becomes emotionally entangled with Michaels, a
bitter alcoholic with a secret.
2013 BEST HISTORICAL FICTION New Mexico / Arizona Book Awards
Winner A dazzling, family epic of love and forgiveness. Return of
the Bones is a very special book inspired by a true story -- In
1915, 2,067 skeletons were stolen from the ghost pueblo of Pecos
and transported to Harvard University for medical research...In
present day and across the miles, the wind carries their cries to
Grandfather who hears the bones longing for home. Hollow-Woman and
Grandfather are the last of the Pecos people, but Hollow-Woman is
not interested in ancient skeletons. She works at an Indian casino
and is of the modern ways, while Grandfather is a shaman and values
tradition. She hopes the road trip will heal their broken hearts.
Grandfather fashions a magical dream catcher to help her "see" her
ancestors' lives, and come to love the missing bones, as he does.
While driving a ratty old pickup-camper, the cantankerous
Grandfather and stubborn Hollow-Woman bicker from New Mexico to the
Peabody Museum. A glowing literary work, with religious undertones
of the persecution of Native Americans by the Catholic Church's
Spanish Inquisition. Return of the Bones pulses with emotion. The
pages are filled with the comical way Grandfather looks at the
world while embracing the heartbreak and spirituality of the Native
American peoples. You may know these famous bones on which landmark
