Moon Called

Bone Crossed

Moon Called

With Mercy

Moon Called

• Was seventeen when she had Mercy, and her parents tried to talk her into an abortion, but Margi would have none of it. Then they tried to get her to put Mercy up for adoption, but she was determined to raise Mercy herself-until she was three months old, and Margi found a coyote pup in her crib⁴³

With the Fae

Bone Crossed

• My mom didn’t like Zee. She blamed him for Mercy's decision to stay in the Tri-Cities and fix cars instead of finding a teaching job, something much more in line with the kind of work she thought Mercy should be doing³⁸
