The Missing Bones
The Blood of the Covenant is Thicker than the Water of the Womb…
After spending months tracking down the mysterious person sending her letters, Emily finds herself face to face with the one person she never thought she’d see again…her mother.

What started out as seemingly nothing more than a practical joke has turned deadly serious as Emily tries to grapple with the secrets of her family’s past, secrets that refuse to stay buried.
And it seems the more she fights, the more she digs herself in deeper. Cut off from everything she knows, Emily struggles to bring the truth to light.
But if she doesn’t figure out the answer to these riddles before it’s too late, she may never see the light of day, or the people she loves, again.
