It is the summer of 1968, but for Marion Goodman, a 62-year-old widow from Wisconsin, life on her Summit Road farm is miles away from the strife of the nation, until one evening when she aims her rifle at what she thinks is a coyote and instead discovers a runaway teenage girl foraging in her garden. Despite an inner voice warning her not to, Marion acts on her impulse to be generous to those in need. In doing so, she unwittingly solders the link of a chain that will bring others to her door-a girl fleeing abusive foster parents, a draft dodger with a growing list of crimes, and a young man truly without a home. When the three converge at summer''s end, Marion''s once-safe haven is threatened by a sociopath''s violence and revenge.

When forty-year-old Angelina Miranda is told she has stage-four breast cancer, she realizes that everything she has done in her life has not been enough. It has not been nearly enough. And it''s not just that. She realizes that it has all been wrong, too. So, with only months to live, Angelina knows she must set things right with her daughter, Sophie, something she regrets she never did with her father. It''s her relationship with her father, complicated by her mother''s tragic accident, that propels teenage Angelina on a reckless course that shapes her life and robs her of the love she craves. Set in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, A Hollow Bone is a rich chronicle of Angelina''s family, their hopes and dreams, and the sharp frailty that makes them human.
