LITTLE BIRD
Available August 2025!
In 1910, fearing escalating violence against the Jews in Russia, Feige’s father arranges for her to marry a wealthy cousin in New York. She will no longer be her parents’ adored “little bird.” As she adapts to life in America, she goes from obedient daughter to dutiful wife, even allowing her new husband to change her name to Fannie. Longing to make her own decisions, her husband’s cruelty finally pushes her to risk leaving him. She parlays her embroidery skills into a job and finds the man she believes is the love of her life. When he betrays her, she refuses to forgive him, disregarding advice to overlook men’s lapses. Finally, she meets a man who both loves and respects her. Can she give up her hard-won independence? Little bird is the story of a girl who finds the courage to forge her own path to womanhood.
