{"product_id":"before-women-had-wings","title":"Before Women Had Wings","description":"Starstruck by a dime-store picture of Jesus, Avocet Abigail \"Bird\" Jackson fancies herself \"His girlfriend\" and embarks upon a spiritual quest for salvation, even as the chaos of her home life plunges her into a stony silence. In stark and honest language, Bird tells the tragic tale of her father, a sweet-talking wanna-be country music star, tracks her older sister's perilous journey into womanhood, and witnesses her mother make a courageous and ultimately devastating decision.\n\nYet most profound is Bird's own story--her struggle to sift through the ashes of her parents' lives, her meeting with Miss Zora, a healer whose prayers over the bones of winged creatures are meant to guide their souls to heaven, and her will to make sense of a world where fear is more plentiful than hope, retribution more valued than love. . . .\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0399141294\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0399141294.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fowler, Connie May\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
