I was looking forward to the book launch for "The Feathered Bone" by Oxford writer Julie Perkins Cantrell. The event is set for tonight at 5 p.m. at Off Square Books in Oxford.
I'm not going since I am still fighting the cough that will not die. This third book for Cantrell has gotten positive reviews. You may remember my recommendations of her first novel, "Into the Free" followed by "When Mountains Move."
This newest work promises to be riveting, although hard to read at times. By hard to read, I mean facing some harsh social facts...sex trafficking for a young girl.
When I wrote Julie to regret that I would not be there, she said, "I hope (being sick) gives you tons of reading time.....somewhere warm and cozy."
We'll that's where I'll be tonight. The book magically appeared on my Kindle. I have on an old shirt, my husband's Napoleon Dynamite sleep pants and fuzzy purple socks. Makes being sick worth it.
Best wishes, Julie. You make us proud.
