Bones Beneath the Prairie: A Memoir of Survival and Redemption - Paperback

by Roseann Mayer (Author)

Bones Beneath the Prairie is a memoir of survival, silence, and redemption rooted in the oil fields and red dirt roads of West Texas.

Raised in a family bound by tradition yet fractured by betrayal, Roseann Mayer's life unraveled under the weight of domestic abuse, loss, and generational silence. From a childhood shaped by wide skies and Sunday suppers, through decades of violence and estrangement, to an unexpected journey back to faith and belonging, this is the story of a woman who refused to be erased.

At once intimate and cinematic, Bones Beneath the Prairie reveals how memory, faith, and the stubborn hope of return can carry us through the darkest valleys. It is a testament to the cost of endurance and the grace that waits on the other side of survival.

For readers of memoirs that blend grit and grace-Tara Westover's Educated, Jeannette Walls's The Glass Castle, or Glennon Doyle's Untamed-this book will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever had to claw their way back to the light.
