Reviews
"Phillips's writing is . . . brimming with imagery. . . . Her greatest talent is her ability to create the world of the story. Come In and Cover Me moves us into the earth. The dusty landscape serves as both setting and metaphor, a beautiful but dangerous place where a sudden loss of footing can prove fatal."--Brunonia Barry, The Washington Post "With a sure hand . . . Phillips, weaves this strand of the supernatural through a compelling modern story of love and loss."-- San Francisco Chronicle "As graceful and emotionally true as Phillips' debut--and, in its thoroughly researched reimagining of the American Southwest's prehistoric Mimbres culture and its leap into supernatural territory without once losing its credibility or riveting story line, surpasses it. . . . Amid a sensually sketched setting of rock formations, mesquite and juniper, narrow canyons, and night skies, Ren and Silas work side by side and try to bridge the growing distance between them. As the natural and supernatural worlds coalesce, both recent and ancient history become more insistently present, yielding an original and strikingly beautiful ending." Kate Christensen, Elle "Long haunted by her dead brother, archaeologist Ren Taylor is being led to the find of her career by a ghostly woman who lived at the site of an ancient desert dig. Part love story, part field guide, this beguiling novel charts the excavation and restoration of a damaged soul."-- Parade, "Phillips's writing is . . . brimming with imagery. . . .

Haunting, compelling and lyrical . . . A moving, well-crafted story brought to life through believable characters, vivid details and honest prose. Phillips has provided the reader with a true find--an ending surprising, satisfying and memorable novel that illustrates the power of good storytelling."-- Bookpage "Moving. . . . Phillips adroitly sidesteps sentiment, enriching Ren's world with depth and detail. While studying the Mimbres tribes of the Southwest, Ren utilizes her gift of seeing and communicates with ghosts at the sites she excavates to find out where to dig and how the uncovered artifacts were used. Ren's passion for personalizing her work, attributing artifacts to specific individuals and striving to tell their stories, causes disagreements with Silas, who can't believe her approach really works. In this and other exchanges, Phillips nicely illustrates the conflict between masculine reason and feminine intuition."-- Publishers Weekly "A lush, glowing, truly enjoyable work."-- Library Journal (starred) "Phillips handles Ren's communication with ghosts with enough delicacy to be persuasive, enhances the appeal of archaeology by personalizing its discoveries, and vividly illustrates the need to share oneself with loved ones."-- Booklist, "Phillips's writing is . . . brimming with imagery. . . .

Synopsis
The moving story of a woman learning to let go of the past in order to move forward with her own future, from the author of Fierce Kingdom . When Ren was twelve years old, she lost her older brother to a car accident. For twenty-five years he's been a presence in her life, appearing with a song or a reflection in the moonlight. Her connection to the ghosts around her has made her especially sensitive as an archaeologist, understanding the bare outline of our ancestors, recreating lives and stories, and breathing life into those who occupied this world long before us. On the cusp of the most important find of her career, it is the ghosts who are guiding her way. But what they have to tell Ren about herself, and her developing relationship with the first man to really know her since her brother's death, is unexpected-a discovery about the relationship between the past and the future, and the importance of living in the moment., The moving story of a woman learning to let go of the past in order to move forward with her own future, from the author of Fierce Kingdom .
