Before Women Had Wings (Turtleback School & Library)
Before Women Had Wings (Turtleback School & Library) | Connie May Fowler
6 posts | 6 read | 19 to read
My name is Avocet Abigail Jackson. But because Mama couldn't find anyone who thought Avocet was a fine name for a child, she called me Bird. Which is okay by me. She named both her children after birds, her logic being that if we were named for something with wings then maybe we'd be able to fly above the shit in our lives. . . .

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 8

I agree with the review that @kaye wrote. This reminds me of Liars Club. A powerful story of Fowler‘s childhood.

Kaye Such a REALLY good book. Sure wish they had it in Kindle. I‘ve sorta been sticking up some old favorites in there and would like to add this to them. 6y

Jessie!! I received the prizes for your #festivebookishbox giveaway today, and I just LOVE everything! The book sleeve is soooo cute! Jackson has already absconded with the donut pen and eaten half of the chocolate... because kids. Adding the book to my 2019 tbr. 😃

Thank you so much for sending all of these wonderful goodies halfway around the world to me! ❤️❤️❤️
