YA
The story alternates between the voices of two seventeen-year-olds--a contemporary biracial girl, Rowan Chase, and Will Tillman, son of an Osage mother and white father in 1921. While remodeling Rowan's home, workers discover a skeleton beneath the floorboards. Rowan plays amateur detective, researching Tulsa history to find clues to the skeleton's identity. An intricately plotted mystery that also addresses America's continuing racial problems.
