Nightly, while most children sleep, others pursue a more basic goal, recovery. These are the mistreated, the physically and emotionally abused. And in \u003ci\u003eHindred Spirits, \u003c\/i\u003e the youngest cope by willing their spirits to exit their bodies for a few precious hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatalie Leffingwell, nine, learns this power following one harsh beating from her abusive father. Seeking relief from the pain, she watches as first a finger, then her hand, rises from her resting body. The spirit world, she finds, is devoid of pain, a place to join others with similar hardships-and play where no grownup can follow. Her one rule: to protect her body from physical threats while her spirit soars aloft. In case of danger, children out \"ghosting\" must quickly re-enter their bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite her caution, unforeseen circumstances trap her in this ethereal realm. Denied her mother's love, denied Heaven, there is but loneliness. Natalie needs a friend like her.
