Synopsis

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, who just might be the key to saving Isaac’s life. Then the
unthinkable happens, and the world as she knows it shifts in ways she never could have imagined. Grace must decide what she believes amid the swirling, conflicting voices even of those she loves the most.

From gifted songwriter Cindy Morgan comes this lyrical, tender tale of a girl standing at the threshold of adulthood, learning the depths of the human heart and the bonds of family that bend, break, and bind together over and over again.

This special enhanced audiobook contains bonus music by Cindy written exclusively for this audiobook, a podcast interview, and more!

Goodreads review by Terry on May 12, 2023

Wow! I am beyond impressed with Cindy Morgan's first novel. I'm longtime a fan of her music, but had no idea she was writing a novel. The storyline was right up my alley, though: a small town in Appalachia during the Civil Rights era and a young girl, Grace, who is dealing with a lot. Her social-cli......more

What a lovely book. I loved the way this author writes & captivates the audience with the characters and their stories. She did a remarkable job at making character feel like a “real” person. This book zoomed in on two major life events for the young girl Gracie. I wish she would have picked one: ei......more

When I saw that Cindy Morgan had written a fictional book, I had to read it. This book is set in the early 1960s with the civil rights movement as a backdrop in a southern Kentucky town.
