The Mockingbird family has always lived peacefully in Jubilee, Kentucky, despite the divisions that mark their small town. Until the tense summer of 1963, when their youngest child, Isaac, falls gravely ill. Middle sister Grace, nearly fourteen, is determined to do whatever it takes to save her little brother. With her father and mother away at the hospital, Grace is left under the loving but inexperienced eye of her aunt June, with little to do but wait and worry. Inspired by a young teacher’s mission for change, she begins to flirt with danger—and with a gifted boy named Golden.

What a wonderful piece of work by singer/songwriter, and now fiction author Cindy Morgan! This book is about love, loss, resiliency... it's about family and community; and it's about the complexities of life - the bonds, the woundings, the adventures we experience both in connection and disconnection with our people. Although set in 1963, it is so appropriate and timely for our present day where we are experiencing such division. This book gives a beautiful opportunity to bring us back to what really matters - love, faith, and humanity, seeing and welcoming that we are all unique, special, and worthy of love and acceptance... and that we all are imperfect. As I listened to this novel, I found myself laughing, on the edge of my seat at times, and also crying... and crying some more. By the end, I found I had gone on quite the emotional journey that brought me a renewed and increased level of compassion for all humans and a desire for us all to be united no matter our unique differences. Well done Cindy Morgan! And thank you for sharing Grace and all the people of Jubilee with us the readers/listeners.
