UNTIL THE ROBIN WALKS ON SNOW
It is 1922. An
immigrant family and their devoted midwife struggle to save a 1.5 pound
newborn. Inspired by real events in Norwich, Connecticut, this historical
fiction novella about determination, family, faith, and friendship includes a
story chapter about the family's Polish and Lithuanian Christmas Eve
traditions. Appendices include a List of Sources Consulted and Author's Notes
about the facts, family history, and research behind the story.
Author’s Note: The book was written so that families could
enjoy it. It is suitable for ages 10
through adult. Two readers independent
of each other recently shared with the author that the story reminded them of
those they had seen over the years on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Most recently,
the author was just thrilled recently to see a review on Amazon from
Zimbabwe! The mother of an 11-year-old
girl wrote that her daughter loved the book and its characters. The daughter wrote a book report on it.
