can anyone help me?
Channing let sunlight find her face, and Elizabeth saw bones that pressed too tightly against the skin, circles beneath the girl’s eyes that were as dark as her own. “No, sweetheart. I’m not. I barely sleep, and when I do, I have nightmares. I don’t eat or exercise or talk to people unless I need to. I’ve lost twelve pounds in under a week. It’s not fair, what happened in that house. I’m angry. I want to hurt people.”
Channing pulled her hands free from her pockets.

Question

Answer

Channing let the sunlight find her face - a poetic way of saying that the sunlight was shining on her face
Bones pressed too tightly, etc - is a way of describing that she was looking gaunt and tired.
Pulled her hands free from her pockets - she took her hands from inside her pockets, probably with some reluctance.
Hope that these explanations help
