When the Crow Sings: a Novel Jacqueline Wales

This is a gripping story of transformation and redemption, of hope and faith in oneself and the ability we have to transcend our past and find the healing spirit within us all. It truly is a beautifully written drama. Rabbi Steven Carr Reubin, author of Raising Ethical Children"Effie lay facing the statue of the Virgin Mary and knew there were not enough Hail Marys for this one. Finally there were sins to confess. But she wouldn't do it in front of her mother and she wouldn't do it in front of a priest. She had made a mistake she was sorry for. But it was her secret now. There was no forgiveness for lies."When the Crow Sings, a novel, is based on the real life story of a family caught up in shame, abuse and denial a powerful story that explores the history of mothers who abandoned their children, until one person had the courage to break the chains.
