Bone Music (Burning Girl, #1)

by Christopher Rice

There’ve been times since he returned to Altamira when his loneliness has felt like a weight on his chest. He knows it’s too heavy to remove on his own, but on most days, he’s too proud to ask for help. So he lies to himself and says tomorrow will be the day. Tomorrow will be the day he’ll go someplace and just sit and see who talks to him first and hope that the first stirrings of chitchat with a stranger might reveal the seeds of a new life. A new life with new friends, and a new vision for his future he can be proud of.
