Blurb for The Bird Sisters by Robin Antalek

"In The Bird Sisters, Rebecca Rasmussen has created the ultimate literary heroines with Milly and Twiss. Heartbreakingly brave as they are fragile, the sisters endure despite the failings of love both familial and romantic, of promises not kept, of dreams deferred and the price one pays for keeping secrets. In prose that sings, Rasmussen has created a magical world where you will believe that birds – and perhaps even humans -- no matter how broken -- will soar under the capable ministrations of Milly and Twiss."

--Robin Antalek, Author of The Summer We Fell Apart

What a nice review! I just thought I would stop by to say hello and see what you were up to. Your book does sound so very good and I cannot wait to read it. I would love to switch to fiction as soon as I finish my obligation for 3 non-fictions

Thank you, Doreen. Robin was amazing to me and the book! She read it in two days, which is quite the feat as you know. I would love to read some of your writing, too, although I have been really loving your blogs; they make my day each time I read them. What non-fiction are you working on right now? xxoxoxoxoxox Rebecca
