The Burden of Sparrows

The Burden of Sparrows

0 - Default Title
Description
In the tranquil wilderness of Northern Michigan, school custodian Buddy Robertson finds all that he needs: the rhythms of nature, the unpretentious companionship of Mags and their seven cats, solitude from others - and a safe escape from the loss and abuse of his childhood.
During cold months, Buddy fusses with his collections of various treasures. Winter's end brings maple syrup production, and spring elicits the return of migratory birds. Buddy knows their calls. He eagerly anticipates the forest's awakening in spring, the magic of summer, and the glory of autumn. His appreciation for these pleasures comes from his grandfather and his first love, Leah. Both are gone, but Buddy can depend on the change of seasons, the golden light of dusk, and the gossip of red-winged blackbirds in April.
Buddy would love to keep his quiet existence. But when he comes face-to-face with Ben, a young boy courageously grappling with his own demons, Buddy is inspired to finally deal with his past.
In The Burden of Sparrows, author Debra Payne crafts an intimate portrait of one man's journey to overcome trauma and shame. In the embrace of nature and newfound connections, Buddy discovers love, courage, and human resilience.
