The Burden of Sparrows: A Novel

"A poignant debut with beautiful writing." - Kirkus Review A broken man. A lost boy. A chance for redemption in the wilds of Northern Michigan. School custodian Buddy Robertson hides from the scars of abuse and loss, finding comfort only in the rhythms of the Northern Michigan wilderness—the hush of falling snow, the sweetness of maple sap, and the return of each spring's birdsong. He and his partner Mags live a quiet, humble existence. When Buddy meets Ben, a boy struggling with his own demons, their fragile bond forces Buddy to confront the painful past he has long buried. As seasons turn and secrets surface, he must decide whether to retreat into solitude—or embrace the healing power of connection. A deeply moving story of resilience, hope, and second chances, The Burden of Sparrows is perfect for readers of William Kent Krueger, Fredrik Backman, and anyone who believes even the most broken hearts can be made whole again.
