The immensely powerful and timely themes explored in ‘The

Feathered Bone’ include:
- How domestic abuse, particularly emotional abuse, can
blur our own beliefs about ourselves and spin us into a downward spiral of
toxicity - How women can become ‘enslaved’ in relationships —
especially conservative Christian women who have been taught that a good and
Godly woman should be submissive to her husband - The modern-day slavery of human trafficking and how one
could keep their faith and sanity in such tragic circumstances - Teenage suicide and surrendering the heart to people who
want to destroy us is never the answer.
