Thirteen-year-old Sophie has spent nearly her entire life at Rivendale Children's Home, where unanswered questions are easier to live with than impossible answers. She has long accepted that some things-like knowing where she came from or why she was left behind-may never be explained.
Then the strange things begin.
A shoelace ties itself. A pencil reveals what no one should know. Cold follows her into empty rooms, and a voice whispers from the darkness, calling her by name. As the impossible grows harder to dismiss, Sophie and her best friend, Amelia, begin uncovering a forgotten history stretching back generations-a history bound to an old sycamore tree, a family burdened by silence, and a promise that was never truly finished.
Across the state, cattle rancher Zeke Colby is searching for answers of his own. What begins as a question about his family's past leads to a discovery that will change both of their lives forever.
As long-buried secrets surface, Sophie must decide whether to trust the people reaching for her or the voice promising everything she has ever wanted. Because some debts are measured in money.
Others are measured in blood.
Blending family, mystery, and the supernatural, The Things We Owe is a haunting coming-of-age novel about belonging, sacrifice, and the ties that endure even when they have been forgotten.
