Forever Blackbirds

Told in dual timelines, Forever Blackbirds traverses protagonist Marta Gottlieb's escape from 1914 Russia to her tribulations in rural North Dakota during WWII. Young Marta, now in her mid-forties, begins to question her evangelical faith in the turbulence of mid-century America and another war. Forging her way through the loss of a son, estrangement from her community, and the disquieting reality of a loveless marriage, Marta discovers an indomitable spirit she didn't know she possesses.
