Waiting On Wednesday: The Bird Sisters

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

My “Waiting On” is The Bird Sisters by Rebecca Rasmussen. I first learned about her book back in October when I spotted the beautiful cover with a bird on it. It was one of my Friday Finds.

On Monday Rebecca was featured on Huffington Post as one of three new emerging fiction writers. After listening to Rebecca read from the first chapter of the book I am anxiously awaiting it’s release in April.

The Bird Sisters: A Novel by Rebecca Rasmussen

When a bird flies into a window in Spring Green, Wisconsin, sisters Milly and Twiss get a visit. Twiss listens to the birds’ heartbeats, assessing what she can fix and what she can’t, while Milly listens to the heartaches of the people who’ve brought them. The two sisters have spent their lives nursing people and birds back to health.
