Synopsis

* International Award Winning Author *

“Gritty, Realistic, Wonderful. Honest storytelling at its best with heartbreak and happiness in constant battle. A page-turner. I will be reading more by Ms. Olsen.”
— Karla M. Jay, Award-winning author of When We Were Brave.

In A Sparrow Falls, set against the backdrop of a changing America, Sarah must find the courage to confront the ghosts of her past and come to terms with her future. Sarah, a young woman from the rural town of Tolerance, Arkansas, has endured an impoverished and traumatic childhood. But now, as the innocence of the 1950s transforms into the turbulent ‘60s, Sarah must find the strength to overcome her traumas, forgive those who have wronged her, and discover her true self. With its moving and often disturbing narrative, A Sparrow Falls is an evocative account of a young woman's journey to find peace and acceptance.

About this title

Review

Simple yet haunting. Evocative, flawless prose that never tries too hard. A little hint of greats like Steinbeck and Harper Lee, but no imitation; part of its quality is a complete absence of self-consciousness in the writing. Sarah - the heroine of A Sparrow Falls, got under my skin.  Wonderful. Don't miss it.  -- Andrew Levy- Author of The Dweller's Guide To The Planet: All You Need To Know About Everywhere

The American Soul is pictured in this book. I felt myself traveling through the southern United States, driven by the music of the 1960s, in an environment where the Vietnam War marked that generation and divided the world into two. But that farm girl had her own dreams ... and fears.This book sent me an emotional charge similar to that of Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment."  She has her own style and I believe she will stand out in the American literary scene.-- Mauricio Munhoz - Author of Escape Route: The Untold Story of The SS
