“The Nature of Small Birds” by Susie Finkbeiner, told through three distinct voices in three different timelines, is an inspiring story of the love of family that transcends genetic code, portraying the intricacies of family ties and the unbreakable power of love. Tough subjects are skillfully handled as Susie Finkbeiner peels back layers upon layers of life to reveal the truth of what is important to the human heart. Her highly authentic characters are filled with empathy, compassion, and hope, so well-drawn that real life unfolds with all its unique wonder, starry-eyed delight and bitter heartache, its grasping and letting go, with lots of give and take that make up the true essence of family life. This is a profound tale of belonging and growing as a family, and of love that acquires wings to fly. A Michigan family tries to quell troubling ghosts from the Vietnam War, struggling to forgive what they can’t forget until time heals all their heartbreaking wounds.
