Like Small Bones by Ruth Pettis

Violet has been at odds with the world from birth - although her father loves her deeply, it is her mother's love she craves. How does she cope with her mother's unexplainable cruelty? Gerald's childhood, too, is harsh - he suffers from the taunts of his adoptive father and is denied his own mother's love. Set in a landscape that is both liberating and oppressive, this is a novel about extreme vulnerability. Like Small Bones explores the frailty of humankind and our (sometimes elusive) saving grace, the capacity for love. This 2004 Hazard Press Paperback is in good condition.
