Blackbirds & My Boys: Movements From The Soul Of A Marginal Mom

Layering experiential imagery and emotional ink, Lisa's storied movements unravel raw the peculiar, frequently painful path of her slightly marginal life as a single mom imperfectly pursuing the heart of God with her three sons. With vulnerable honesty, Blackbirds and My Boys invites the reader into her own inward journey, traveling from opacity, rumination, and God-searching to destinations of clarity, peace-and being found by God. Birthed from a deep immersion into familiar Scriptural texts, these evocative vignettes will tilt the reader's head for a fresh reframing of Sunday-schooled passages as Lisa reveals her struggles with juvenile diabetes and juvenile delinquency, with heroin addiction and God-eviction-and even a boyfriend-gone-bad. Join Lisa as she discovers some beautifully bewildering blackbirds within the common commotion of her days and within the despairing darkness of her nights, where you are certain to discern a few blackbirds of your own!
