This middle-grade historical novel follows three young girls living very different lives who are connected by one bottle that makes two journeys across the ocean.It's 1854 and eleven-year-old Bones is a slave on a Virginia plantation. Across the Atlantic on the Isle of Wight, motherless Lady Bess Kent and her sister discover Bones's bottle half-buried on the beach. When she finds her name in the slave-record book, she rips it out, rolls it up, and sets it free, corked inside a bottle alongside the carved peach pit heart her long-lost father made for her.
When Harry, a local stonemason's son, takes the fall for Elsie's thefts, Bess works Leaving Bones's name where it began and keeping the peach pit heart for herself, Bess hides her mother's pearl-encrusted cross necklace in the bottles so her scheming stepmother, Elsie, can't sell it off like she's done with other family heirlooms.
