"Return of the Bones" (ISBN 1475187424) begins with an old Native American explaining to his granddaughter that she will be the last of the Pecos people once he dies and she has a responsibility to return her family's remains to their original resting place. "You must search for the others, the ones who were stolen from their graves." His granddaughter is not inclined to undertake such a journey she believes only a crazy old shaman could dream up. While she has her misgivings, Hollow-Woman finally agrees to drive Grandfather to Boston in what turns out to be a spiritual journey, quest of self-discovery, and an appreciation of family and culture. Her grandfather creates a magical dreamcatcher that occasionally transports her to the past so she can experience her ancestors' triumphs and tragedies.
